Prisha Tiwari answered
The change in the land use, during the 11th century, brought many benefits and more yields. It enabled peasants to use a field two years out of three if they planted one crop in autumn, and a different crop in spring a year and a half later, which meant that farmers could break their holdings into three fields. They could plant one with wheat or rye in autumn for human consumption. The second one could be used in spring to raise peas, beans and lentils, for human use, and oats and barley for the horses. The third field lay fallow. Each year they rotated the use among the three fields.
