> 大豆は他の作物が育ちにくい、やせた土地で栽培できるので、昔から日本各地で栽培されてきた。

Please help me understand the meaning of the sentence.

To me it looks like 大豆は他の作物が育ちにくい is a separate sentence, not connected with
the rest. But it should be. If it is connected, why isn't にくい connected like
an I-adjective （にくくて）？

Could you please translate the whole given sentence.

Thank you!

question
meaning i-adjectives sentence
The connection of clauses
I think the sentence would break down as follows:

大豆は {[他の作物が育ちにくい]、[やせた]土地} で栽培できるので、昔から日本各地で栽培されてきた。

Where there are two equal priority adjective clauses that modify 土地. In
regards to the lack of ～くて form to connect these two descriptors look
[here](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/63211/whats-the-
difference-in-nuance-between-
multiple-%E5%BD%A2%E5%AE%B9%E8%A9%9E-%E3%81%84-adjectives-with-and-wit) at the
second bullet point in the correct answer. A comma is inserted to sound more
formal, which I think matches the sentence's topic and grammer.

for a translation, I would say something like:

"Since soybeans can be cultivated in infertile soil that is difficult for
other crops to grow in, from long ago soybeans came to be grown all over
Japan".
