What type of soil is best for crop rotation?

Crop rotation can take place in all ranges of soil. However, if this rotation includes wheat, the best soil  is well-drained and has medium to fine texture to increase yields. To help with the soil compaction and increase yields, try the double crop rotation with wheat and soybeans. The process of double crop rotation begins with planting wheat in the fall, harvesting the wheat in the summer, and then planting the soybeans in the wheat stubble. This process is also a practice of conservation. The picture shows no-till planting of soybeans in corn stubble, it is courtesy of the Purdue University's Conservation website.
