How to use "Fallow" in context?
One of the many agricultural terms that crop growers use is "fallow." Fallow is the agricultural practice of removing vegetation from a field so that the soil can regenerate. Fallowing can be done with crops, but is most commonly used with crops that are not meant to regenerate, such as corn and cotton. Fallow helps control weeds, control pests, and improve fertility.
