cam someone spoon-feed me this meme? i don’t get it.
All plants require different levels nutrients to grow. If the same plant is grown repeatedly in the same soil then the soil will run out of the nutrients that plant needs and growing that plant becomes difficult. By rotating through plants with different nutrient requirements, the soil can maintain a sustainable balance of nutrients.
We now use the scientific method to argue ideas, but in the past ideas could just be laughed at if people thought they sounded dumb. People laughed at ideas like the sun being the center of the solar system and doctors needing to wash their hands before surgery. Refusal to accept these ideas held humanity back from technological advancement.
Good explanation. Crop rotation also decreases plant diseases and insect damage.
Hey, we still laugh at scientists who propose good ideas
What’s that quote - something like “science progresses one funeral at a time”? Even scientists have their favourite theories that they’ll defend in the face of logic and evidence.
Humans gotta human!

Pros and cons.
Well you don’t have to witness utter morons destroying the planet…
WHAT?
WHY?!
Because change is costly and therefore a risk. When it seems that resources are scarce, risks are dangerous, and it can seem rational to destroy ideas that cost more resources, lest your imagined model of society collapse for lack of resources as the idea takes over.
It’s always conservatism, in other words.
Let’s not take the religious aspects out of it though.
The church said earth was the center so saying the sun was the center was going against the church which was blasphemy. Blasphemy punishable by lifelong imprisonment or death.
Likely both as dungeons weren’t exactly life friendly.
Because many considered any change to be an affront to Gods will. So they killed free-thinkers to prove God infallible

I feel like this is something that would happened at one of my past shitty jobs or in a crappy friend group.
Unobservant idiots will always try to hold progress back.
“Science progresses at the march of funerals” as they say
As others have said, a monoculture will drain those specific nutrients.
Beans are kinda special being a nitrogen fixer. Lot of plants will drain nitrogen so we fertilize as supplement.
Plant beans, squash, and corn together and you won’t need to rotate your fields and the plants will form a sort of symbiosis working together.
Plants compete between them for resources, sorry but its idealistic nonsense to claim that they work together.
Plants consume, produce, and “fix” (make usable) different resources, hence the wild success of crop rotation for the last 8,000 years.
She is playing the part of the dumb antagonist saying Jeff is stupid for rotating his crops.
Somehow the dumb antagonist is 5000 years old. Humanity can be dumb lol.
She’s playing a collective of dumb antagonists, and Jeff may or may not be a collective of progressive thinking/experimenting people who were ignored throughout history despite their efforts.
thankfully, the assholes used to die off pretty quick back then.
If she’s the mean girl of agricultural history I image there’s also a prehistoric nerds table, planting the 3 sisters in an out of the way field. So they have a place to hang out on their own while getting laughed at for it.
How am I supposed to eat beans while watching Cars 2 now?
It doesn’t matter, if it was a good idea 17 other people also had it and at least one of them is a big enough asshole to try it
