Crop Planning, Rotation and Yield

Good yields come from choices made long before harvest: which crop to grow, where it fits in a rotation and how the land is classed. These articles walk through the stages of the farming cycle, crop rotation and intercropping, land capability classes and profitable crops such as saffron and roses.

Farmers and farm managers can compare GPS mapping apps, agriculture APIs and precision farming equipment, or look at farmland REITs and land prices in Argentina. Regional pieces cover Illinois, Sri Lanka, Russia and Korea and the effect of California wildfires on food production, and French-language articles look at Cameroon and Senegal.
