      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.

      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.

    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.

    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
