Erosion Loss Higher Than National Average in West Central Wisconsin
The Soil Conservation Service reports national soil loss averages 4.8 tons per acre yearly, while west central Wisconsin averages about 8.1 tons. heavy rains and more corn planting worsen erosion, with some fields south of Eau Claire losing over 50 tons per acre and subdivisions losing 50 to 75 tons per acre. The ACES program in six counties tracks soil loss before and after ACP practices to gauge cost sharing effectiveness.
