Terraces Benefit Farmers by Reducing Erosion
Elmer J. Lund of the Floyd Valley Watershed extols terraces with contour tillage to shorten slopes and intercept runoff. Iowa State College researchers found terraces can cut soil loss to under 2 tons per acre yearly and reduce water loss to 3 percent. A Floyd Valley survey after heavy rains shows level terraces could have held over half the flood waters, saving topsoil. Farmers are urged to contact A C offices for 70 percent cost sharing and Soil District help in terrace layouts.
