Crop rotation - three-field system
Following table describes the rotation of crops on three fields in three-year period (six years for full cycle on all fields). All grains are included with addition of cabbage and winter-planted carrot. Carrot play the role of "fallow" season. Also, it can be replaced with beetroot, onion/cabbage or flax/cabbage combination for spring-to-fall period or removed altogether for maximum immersion ;)
Crops section of the table describes crops harvested each season for all fields.
Bottom line of the table summarizes workload for each season on each of three fields: p for planting and h for harvesting (number of tasks needed to be completed by your workers).
