I live in a rural area of Pennsylvania surrounded by farms. In the past (every year) the farmers around me planted corn. This year every field has soybeans planted, not corn. Just an observation...

I live (part time) in rural Michigan and here, the farmers plant both soy and corn, as far as I can see. Just a non-professional observation.

Soy adds nutrients to the soil.

I think American Farmers use to grow it instead of letting fields lie fallow.

What they did with the beans I don’t know. Maybe let the cows eat them?

Now they sell them. :)

Corn brings in more money per acre but you can’t grow corn every year without depleting the soil. You have to alternate.
