On its six hundred acres, Les Cultures de chez nous also grows corn, soy and grains (wheat, barley, oat). The main goal for crop diversification is to allow crop rotation, which guarantees a more ecological production. If the same variety grows for several years in a row in the same soil, it is more likely to develop all kinds of contamination. Crop rotation helps prevent phytosanitary or root diseases and breaks the weed vegetative cycle.

Thus, crop diversification considerably helps reduce pesticide treatments. The crop rotation evolves in the following manner: corn is sowed for two years, soy or cereal crop is sowed the following year and finally the leek is sowed again providing that the type of soil is appropriate.
