Should I fallow for 2 years or 1?

[Shadow Draxis]

Right now i'm set to fallow 2 years per field but its not giving me good yields, wondering if 1 year of fallow is good enough to restore fertility. Would 1 year of fallow only work for fenced fields? Has anyone tried this yet?

Greetings,

From the Wiki;

- There is a known issue where estimated crop yields in the month of September are inaccurate, so you won’t harvest as much as the game tells you you will.
- The fertility rating of a field at game start is the maximum fertility level that field will ever have. It will decrease over time, however you can use strategies such as leaving a field Fallow for a season and general crop rotation or using the development option to allow farm animals to use fallow fields, to regenerate fertility rating back to its starting maximum.

At the beginning you should do:

-Fallow

And swtich to:

Do you think a "Crop, fallow, crop" strategy will work? Or should I just have one field be in fallow and another in crops for 1-2 years then switch and repeat?

Since soil fertility is calculated separately for each crop, as long as you continuously plant different crops and then fallow in the third year, each crop will receive two years of fallow time for fertility replenishment.
