Sheet Erosion and Terracing in Central Illinois Fields
Government survey outlines sheet erosion as a major threat in Illinois while gully erosion is easier to spot. Tests show 100 to 150 tons of soil can wash from an acre with 8 percent rain, risking loss of 7 to 8 inches of topsoil in 25 years. Protective grass, contour farming, and especially terracing slow water, reduce soil loss from 100–150 to 1–3 tons per acre annually, enabling continued cultivation with machinery.
