It's recommended when making Crop Plans that you **create a separate plan for each crop and each management practice** Some examples of this could be to separate fields that are corn on corn or fields that get manure since your fertilizer and chemical program will be different
In this scenario, I'm going to create a Crop Plan for my river bottom fields that are going to corn since I treat those fields differently that I do the rest of my corn fields
