What are the three ways land was divided during the Middle Ages?

OpenStudy (ishipdestiel):

I know that one is when the seperted the land when they planted two seperate harvests, different times of the year, incase the first havest failed and they had evough food for the year

OpenStudy (aveline):

Is this referring to agriculture only?

OpenStudy (ishipdestiel):

No this is from my World History Class

OpenStudy (aveline):

Well, is the question referring to feudalism or the three-field system?

OpenStudy (ishipdestiel):

Not completly sure, but I think the three- field system

OpenStudy (aveline):

In that case... In the three-field system the sequence of field use involved an autumn planting of grain (wheat, barley or rye) and a spring planting of peas, beans, oats or barley. This reduced the amount of fallow fields to one third. The legumes planted in spring improved the soil through the fixation of nitrogen.
