How Did the Three‑Field System Boost Manor Productivity?
💡 The Answer
- Three fields rotated crops: one winter grain, one spring grain, one fallow.
- Fallow land restored soil nutrients, reducing the need for manure.
- This system increased total arable land in use from half to two-thirds.
- Yields rose significantly, supporting larger populations on each manor.
