West Bengal in India is famous for agriculture. There is a concept of cover farming in the state. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are grown side by side. This is a form of cover farming. While the vegetables grow well in this style of farming the fertility and utility of the soil also remains intact.

I haven't heard of cover farming before. Do they grow the same crops year after year?
