<<You grow them in a crop rotation, right Ish? Beans one year, corn the next.>>

That's the way it's done. Originally that was for corn rootworm control but now many moths have taken to laying their eggs in bean field. If you plant rootworm resistant corn, 15% of your acres have to be planted in refuge of non rootworm resistant corn. Gotta keep those bugs happy.
