Iirc, and I could be getting this wrong, but different crops take and return different nutrients to the soil. So rotating where they're planted can help prevent depletion of the soil, while you can still use all the land available each season.

Don't forget about fallow crops, when you let the earth rest and the crops to decompose, enriching the soil

Yeah that's a big part as well. Also fallow is such a great word and I rediscovered it when I found an artist named Emma Ruth Rundle who uses it beautifully in at least a couple songs.
