Years ago farmers had a thing called "crop rotation" which helped soil structure, plus they added a lot of humus to the soil in the form of manure, straw, stalks, etc. Now it's the same crop repeated year after year and chemicals added that destroy good bacteria, worms, etc., along with the bad stuff, and chemical fertilizers instead of "natural fertilizers".
