Consider a society that doesn't have modern fertilizer and practices crop rotation. This society is concerned with the short-term issues with crop rotation and is considering a modified method they call "split-lot" farming. This entails dividing a designated plot based on the crops you have available, planting one crop in each division, and rotating the crops between divisions if necessary.
The impression I had of crop rotation was that you needed to switch crops (even a mix of crops) after every harvest, but I didn't know if that was really necessary.
