#Crop Rotation

Crop rotation is a ceremonial game in which farmers trivialize the wounds inflicted on the soil by assigning blame to a different plant each season. It masquerades as an eco-promise but is really just a seasonal wardrobe change for weary vegetables. By rotating legumes, corn, and wheat, it artfully circulates guilt rather than nutrients. It may be the politest way to admit to systematic abuse one plot at a time. On the treadmill of sustainability, agriculture keeps spinning its wheels in circles.
