Today I wanted to take part in this contest. Agriculture is one of the important areas of industry, it could be a large farm with many employees and also machines, the same time it could be a small farm with only family who is working on farm and maybe selling small amount of stuff for the village or neighbourhood people.
When we think about planting plants and crops that we then harvest in autumn we always think about simple stuff like potatoes, carrots, tomatoes and maybe onion that is very common vegetables that also grow easily and very well in Europe. When we use the same field for the vegetables of plants we need to know that the soil should have different crops maybe very couple of years, because it is important for the plants to be healthy and strong. That means one year we plants soya or peas then next year it should be rapeseed and then maybe wheat. Sometimes it is swapping summer and winter crops too.
The benefits of rotation always good in the first instance for our soil because that is the source of our food. Knowing what the year will be it is wise to plant appropriate crops, some of them like dry weather and grow without any problem when it is too hot and dry. There are other crops that like more rainy days and water helps them to grow better. When we change our crops we also help the soil to recover after the harvest and to recharge necessary electrolytes, trace elements. The soil also feeds the animals and birds living in our area, we always have to remember about the chain in the environment that is influencing each other and if there is any break in that circle then it can affect every single block of the chain.
