Flexible cropping systems allow for an opportunistic change in an established rotation. The decision to grow a specific crop may be influenced by (1) commodity prices, (2) farm policy, (3) available cost-share programs, (4) pest pressure, (5) rotational benefits, and/or (6) plant-available soil water before planting. Plant-available soil water is the most reliable indicator of potential yield and is the basis of guidelines found in this publication.
