Modern benches of ancient terrace system improve soil erosion control
Modern soil scientists promote bench type terraces on Iowa farms as an ancient technique adapted for today. Benches run parallel with gentle curves, reducing slope and eliminating point rows while enabling four row spacing. Tile drainage handles runoff, fewer terraces needed, and ASCS supports costs in county programs including Mower County on Edward Severson farm.
