Years ago I planned a 6 year rotation, oats/alfalfa, two years alfalfa production, corn, beans, and corn. I split the place into the 6 patches and made a drawing with a table showing the rotations.
Eventually I figured out that between the bounced checks from the horsey types buying the wrong hay for their nags and the loss of corn production while growing the N with the alfalfa that I should buy the N and changed to a two year rotation on the 6 patches. A few years of that and the custom combiner allowed that he'd charge less if I did whole farm rotation so I went to whole farm rotation corn and beans alternating and no till. So it was easy to know what the new crop was going to be. Not the residue on the field.
