Practices: Crop Rotation


  • perennials: sod type grasses, legumes, mixtures
    - reduced losses through increased soil cover, permanent root structure, no-till

  • high residue annuals: sorghum, grain corn
    - increases additions

  • deep-rooted crops: alfalfa, safflower
    - increases additions; improves structure
