I grew up on a strip farm and my grandfather alternted corn and wheat in those strips so as not to deplete the soil of vital nutrients needed for each crop. It made for some fun sledding when you hit those bumps!

Growing crops in a systematic arrangement of strips or bands that serve as barriers to wind and water erosion.
