Brant Ontario, Canada | Is it a bad idea to leave a field in continuous soybeans? One of my landlords rents me a field for free provided I keep the weeds knocked down where you can't plant a crop, and he uses my Farm business number to get his property taxes reduced. He will not let me plant corn, period, as the field surrounds his house and he doesn't want to be surrounded by corn (I think its more his wife...)
This past year was the best beans I've ever grown there after beans on beans on beans, but I have had beans in for 3 years now and don't want to set myself up for a disaster.
Would I be wiser to try some sort of spring wheat, or keep at it with the soybeans? For what its worth its only about 10 acres.
I am an extremely STO and can't afford to make a big mistake. I like farming and want to keep at it.
