I think it depends on how big your properties are. Mine (the ones I've had) are really small (less than 100 acres, total.....and typically broken up into 25 acre tracts or less......although they do adjoin in some places). So I see no reason to do anything differently. They aren't going to use portions of it this year if they didn't last year. it just doesn't make sense.
If I had crop rotation to worry about ON THE PREMISES.....then that would throw a wrench into the mix. Until now....I've had NO crops to worry about. It ought to be fun, now, though
