The
Old Rotation
circa 1896




A three-year rotation of cotton (winter legume), corn (small grain harvested for grain), and soybean results in more than 2.5% soil organic matter and the highest average cotton lint yields (two bales per acre). Only 60 pounds N is applied during the three-year rotation and that is applied to the small grain, which is either wheat or rye.
