The fallow field idea comes from the months it takes for the crops to grow. They will plant this fallow field starting in mid Aug and will finish first week in Sept or so. Then they will start harvesting crop for market and will not finsh till after new years. Remember I said its 1 row at a time. The field they plant this year will be cut 3 times from this planting. (once a year) On the 4th year they will let the field go fallow from Jan till Aug for a rest period. They use this time to dig out the ditches of run off; level the fields perfectly flat to aid in water run off; and turn it over several times to kill off any weeds growing. Then it starts all over again. In other words they only get a crop of 3/4 of the acres they own each year and then some of that harvested crop is used to plant the new (1/4) field.
Look at these fields real good. That is nothing but good transplanted Iowa dirt. The Mississippi is less than a 1/2 mile away from here.
This area is what use to be the San Francisco plantation.
