Contour Ridges Prove Moisture Savings at Goodwell Test
At the Panhandle Agricultural Experiment station in Goodwell on May 17–18, 1935, rainfall of 1.79 inches on non contour land penetrated 1.75 inches while contour listed land saw 20.33 inches. Contour farming is urged by the soil conservation service to curb soil loss and conserve moisture. Terraces doubled water penetration, yet contour ridges with no terraces conserved more water than terraces alone.
