Crop Rotation
Crop Rotation
If I don't do crop rotation on a field and keep sowing the same crop, do I get lower yields?

Re: Crop Rotation
I have never noticed a reduction in yield. However I have noticed that if I keep planting and harvesting the same crop, the market price does not get as high.

No, the yield will always be the same.
Re: Crop Rotation
I usually don't rotate mine, I have a notepad I use to write down each fields number and then what I wish to plant there. I'll also write down if a field needs fertilized or not.

I just plant corn and beans and I like to rotate the crops in my fields.

Re: Crop Rotation
I always rotate, I try to divide my total fields into 3 sections. Whatever needs to be ploughed gets corn or sunflowers as it needs cultivation beforehand. Other fields I use direct drills.

Re: Crop Rotation
I use a 3-4 crop rotation on all my fields so I have to keep notes on all my fields.

Nah, I plant what I want to. Big fields usually get the low-yielding crops like soybeans, sunflower, or canola. The smaller fields get wheat, barley, and corn. I'm not much of a root crop farmer, but I always say I might sometime. But I do like to do somewhat of a rotation so I'm not doing the exact same thing every time.
FS22 is the best one yet. Fight me!

Re: Crop Rotation
I do rotations, but only for the purpose of having a variety of crops in storage to prevent flooding the market, since with seasons there are only certain times during the year where crops can be sold for good money.

Re: Crop Rotation
Yield is dependent on the amount of fertilizer you apply. However if you want to be partially realistic, don't put corn on the same field twice in a row. Personally I try to predict which crop will have a high price at harvest and put that one on my largest field and follow the formula for all my fields.

Re: Crop Rotation
I rotate crops myself for realism and to have a good amount of different crops in the silo

Did you test or tried it with that purpose?empato wrote:No, the yield will always be the same.

Re: Crop Rotation
This is tested from several people, and I can also confirm this after around 500 hours of play. The below was tested for example on the goldcrest valley, field 24. 3x fertilized and plowed.
