Crop rotation is always on. Use the field’s next 12 months of tasks to schedule a crop and a Fallow year where fertility needs recovery.
Crop rotation: what to do next
- Check the fertility overlay and the field’s maximum fertility for your chosen crop.
- Put Wheat or Rye in the winter crop slot, or Flax, Barley or Oats in spring.
- Add Fallow where fertility has fallen; leave Farmhouse workers available for the short sowing and harvest windows.
Why this happens
The field can rotate at several points in autumn, so a crop that was never planted may still move to its next slot. A selected but unplanted crop regenerates fertility like Fallow. The 12-month timeline is the clearest way to see what the field will actually do.
How to know it worked
Review the field’s timeline after harvest. An unplanted field with a crop selected can still recover as Fallow.
Can I turn crop rotation off?
No. It is always on ; use the rotation slots and field timeline to control the next crop.
