Between harvesting one


               crop and planting the


               next crop, the fields lie


               bare; there is a time


               period when the

               farmland does not have
               f  a  rm     l a  n  d    d   o  e  s    n  o  t    h  a  v  e

               any crops.
               a  n  y     c ro    p  s  .


          During this period, the


               farmer either grows

               grass or grows other


               crops to prevent soil


               from erosion. This helps


               the soil to regain the

               lost minerals.
