Mark: Crop rotation is just good agricultural practice. When I
was a kid in Illinois, corn farmers always planted soybeans about
every third year. Soybeans nitrogen fixing properties help
restore the soil, so that the fields don't just wear out and
produce weaker crops over the years.

Just so happens, last year I was surrounded by soybean crops.
LARGE fields of them. Usually, these fields are filled with corn,
but for some reason, last year the farmer switched to soybeans.
This year he's back to corn again.
