Both the yield and the quality are best on this kind of soil wheat soon results in small crops, whereas a succession of crops, properly adjusted, gives a larger total production. It is evident, therefore, that there is created by a one-crop system some soil condition not conducive to the best results. A succession of different crops periodically repeated gives better results: it gives better yields, in the first place; it keeps the soil in better physical and chemical condition; it conserves food, keeps down weeds, reduces disease and insect attacks, and incidentally, although not necessarily, saves labor. A good crop rotation is recognized as an essential part of a good system of crop production. Many systems of rotation have been devised. They must be adapted to the soil and to the market conditions, or to the type of farming Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original New York State College of Agriculture; Cornell University.
