Answer 1

Here in Minnesota where I am originally from-No

In South Dakota where I work as an agronomy assistant-No

Answer 2

Where I live...farmers plant whole fields of one crop and most farmers only specialize in one crop...say corn for one example or carrots.

But I live in a high producing area that is where a lot of carrots/oranges/and grain come from

Answer 3

Strip planting is a very effective method for helping control erosion and for useing crop rotation. It is used in my area but not extensively. There should be more strip cropping.
