NW Washington | A wheat researcher at Washington State U. used to get great wheat yields year after year in plots where he sterilized the soil between wheat crops. He blamed a lot of the problem to pythium root rot, but other diseases enter the picture too. A wheat farmer can't afford to do that, but it proved his point about the need for crop rotation, and the longer the rotation the better. I have also seen fantastic peas grown on old pastures too.
