It is necessary, in carrying out permanent plans for crop rotation, to have fields of nearly equal area, in order to grow about the same acreage of the several crops each year, thus making it possible to keep a certain number of live-stock, and from year to year to have regularity and uniformity in the farming business. In order to demonstrate the working of practical systems of crop rotation, as outlined, assume for illustration a farm of 160 acres, divided into eight equal fields, as shown in the diagrams : Rotation Plan No. 1.
