A farmer will decide what crop to go based on where they live (topography, climate, soil), what the future markets may be for a particular crop, what to grow the crop for, how much should be grown, and whether the equipment that farmer has is sufficient to grow that crop. A farmer will usually grow what is in highest demand for their markets and location, what is most commonly grown in his/her area, and/or what they have grown in the past. For instance, a farmer that has grown corn the year before might decide to grow corn again. Or, if the soil is depleted in nutrient sources, the farmer may decide to utilize crop rotation and grow soybeans instead.
