97% of US corn IS grown through crop rotation, usually with nitrate positive soybeans and alfalfa.

Rotating crops doesn’t do anything when you choke your field out with nitrates anyways. 

The average corn yield uses 20 times the required amount of nitrogen additive for effective growth. Or in other words the corn growth in the US needs 5% of the nitrates we are currently adding to it. Then we either pretend our top soil isn’t eroding quickly or pretend it’s not because we plant corn.

Also corn has not been above 80% rotational farmer since the 80s and the number or corn - corn cycles has increased drastically since the subsidization of corn for ethanol.  

Big corn is actively destroying our farmland faster than Urban sprawl could even dream of.


Just drive through the mid west or middle America once every 3 months for a couple years and you will see 97% is a literal impossibility because you will see corn in the same field and only corn for multiple times straight fucking everywhere. 


Shit is even worse in Ontario where ethanol is even more heavily subsidized. Fuck big corn and government subsidies to used farm land for non - food output. Might as well turn it all into gravel pits.
