Three Year Crop Rotation

Wayman

MARYVILLE, MO (2011-09-21)

New research out of Iowa is launching a new theory on crop rotation.

Midwest corner producers might want to consider 3-year crop rotation of beans and corn rather than the traditional 2 year cycle. Iowa state agronomist Matt Liebman says advantages include higher yields and fewer weeds.

The three year plan is a corn to soybean to oat and red clover rotation, which the experts say helps a producer to grown his own nitrogen and reduce purchase inputs.
