Help me understand crop rotation vs fallow Question❓

Please let me know where I am wrong.
So as I understand it a fieldloses 30%fertility to the type of crop grown per year.
So if you had 90% emmer fertility you could grow emmer 3 years in a row with full yields and the field would be 0% for emmer after.

You get just as much yield from a field with 30% fertility as one with 100%? And crops stop growing when the field hits 0% but you keep what has grown so a 15% fertility field would produce a half crop?

I saw in an older youtube video that fallowing a field returns 15% fertility per year, I know it's been patched since then and can't find if that is still accurate.
It also said rotating a crop also restores 15%.
If that's true there's no point in fallowing as you could just do a 3 crop rotation forever.
If there's a guide or a wiki with this info I've missed it, thanks….

A field will lose both fertility and yield for each successive year a single crop type is grown UNTIL its fertility is depleted. With the recent patch, even terrible fertility will grow something, but it’s not really worth it.

One way to avoid depleting your fertility is to set one year as fallow, so that it will restore after a season; however, a single season of fallow is not quite enough for fertility to fully recover (and it will eventually deplete), so you also want to rotate the crop grown in any given field. This means you want to place your fields in areas with as much overlap of at least green (++) fertility levels as possible.

If you want to go for heavy production of a single crop each growing season¹ (I recommend sparing the +++ fertility for this, likely barley), invest in the “fertilizer” perk, build pastures around your fields, and buy sheep; they’ll fully recover fertility after a single fallow season.

    That's helpful. Do you happen to have any numbers on that?

        I have both plow/fencing and multiply sheep on one region with several 20+ pastures scattered around the farms and had over 300 sheep, had to start selling them.

No numbers to give myself, as I’m not one to dive deep into specifics of the simulation, but the numbers others give on this topic are pretty much accurate. I’d recommend posting on the discord channel if you want to know more.

I might be wrong but your fields replace your pasture. I had the perk, fenced my fields and absolutely nothing happened until my sheep breeding outgrew my designated pasture. Then I deleted the pasture and suddenly all all my fields had sheep in them.

That is correct. Just as almost everything else functions, the first built is the first filled. So once I have pastures on my fields, I demolish my original pasture. IF I also have the perk that enables sheep breeding, I will have a pasture next to my livestock trader to pull from.

no. 100% fertility means ,you get 100% potential harvest if everything works out right,
70% fertillity means you only get 70% potential output.

“rotating” the crop lets you regain some fertility , of a previous crop,
“fallow”, lets you regain way more.
and EVEN MORE if you let sheep graze there.
IF you ‹rotate› 2 crops, and then ‘fallow’ the field every 3th year, you get both crops at there initial fertillity.

Slow down for a little bit. If you're going to cut out 90% anyway, you could really afford to take 5 seconds to think. Maybe even 7. …

Fams, short for families. Not farms, sorry for the confusion
