"Crop Rotations- Benefit of Crop Rotations." Dairy Nutrient. 2005.
This website was helpful because it gives a list of benefits of crop rotation. These range from decreasing economic risks, to soil improvement. The site definitely advocates taking care of the environment, and suggests crop rotations as an environmental benefit.
“Crop Rotation and Intercropping.” Farm Radio International. 2004. Farm Radio International. 9 October. 2009. http://www.farmradio.org/english/radio-scripts/72-6script_en.asp.
I thought this was a great website for this assignment because it’s the actual script from a radio show done on crop rotation. It shows that people are interested in its applications and benefits. Apparently, crop rotations help take down certain types of weeds, and also prevent them from growing again. This proves that herbicides aren’t necessary as long as you switch up your crops and are taking care of the soil.
“Crop Rotation” Organic Field Crop Production and Marketing in
It’s great to know about crop rotation, and the benefits of it, but it’s also great to know what crops are used. This website showed planned out rotations, ranging from soybeans to corn, that actual farmers use to help sell and market their crops. The site goes into different rotation patterns, and the pros of con of each pattern.
