This farmer was delighted with improved results of his sunhemp field. Farmers learned to plant it alternately with corn to keep the soil fertile. Sunhemp is rotated with other crops because it can be used as a form of green manure. After harvesting, the plants are plowed back into the soil to make it fertile. This field will be used to grow maize next season.
