Always farming the same thing in the same place depletes the nutrients of that soil.

its not exactly soil erosion. its that the soil loses its nutrient after 3 years of planting the same crop so it needs to be rotated so it can regain these nutrients or it might become unfertile. also about every 6 years you need to let it rest for a year and then the next year it will be fresh and ready for a new start

Without the crops to help stop it by collecting the water, the soil tends to wash up and become runoff

Because the crop start taking the nutrients in the soil and becomes bad so you always use variety to ensure you have decent soil
