No, you don't have to let your land rest in between crops.

It's time to ditch the fallow period.

Leaving land fallow can result in significant land erosion, especially in the Southwest United States.

Robert Masson, Agricultural Extension Agent for Yuma County and the University of Arizona, joined as a guest on the #LeadersTalkCrops series of CropTalk, to explain the benefits of minimizing fallow periods.

This was a special treat of a conversation, seeing as we covered the challenges with fallow periods, AND some fascinating topics I didn't expect would creep up.

Hint: It involves popcorn.

Until next time, #startcleanstayclean
