    rotation..... *8)   but then I wasn't there.. *;)))

    Is this like those mysterious crop circles..they just appear from
    nowhere and with no clues as to how they arrived?

    <---- Hey Jackie, I thought the crop circle mystery was solved and
    proved to be a big hoax.. actually the work of two guys who used a long
    woooden batten attached to the ground at one end with a nail to achieve
    the crop circles....

    I don't know who wrote .0 or where it went.
    I think we just picked up on an empty note and a header!
    
    the header was there on the weekend but no notes!
    
    
    you must have heard about the unexplained circles in farmers fields
    as seen from the air!!
    People believed that they were made by UFO's landing there.
    Alot of research went into finding the cause.

324.10the circles in the crop fields....LJSRV1::LAMBRECHTThe Spirit of BavariaMon Apr 10 1995 20:4914
There are a lot of theories about aliens from outer space causing these
circles. A German author, Erich von Daenicken, wrote several books about
these events and other puzzling puzzles. 
I have my own theories about that.....
     a chunk of totally obnoxiously drunk chaps deliberately ran around
    the fields in circles just to puzzle everybody else.

;)  ;)  ;)  ;)

Or, really some aliens did that.... I must ask around among my family, who
in fact DID it!!!

    	I think from the title of the original note, the poster was hinting
    at crop rotation in the context of moving the crops from field to field
    to prevent soil nutrient depletion. 
    
    	Crop circles are a bit different....;*)

Birthday snarf!!!!! ;)

And: the crop rotation to prevent nutrient depletion in the fields makes sense.
A college friend  of mine grew up on a farm. After a few years his family let
a field lie fallow (from the dictionary, should mean: without anything growing on it)
to allow it to recover.

And the crop circles: I talked to my little brother on the phone yesterday, he finally
admitted having walked in crop fields when he was a little one. 
NOW that solves our little puzzle. ;)
