Terracing proves soil insurance for Iowa farmers
Iowa farmers report terracing as a cost effective soil insurance with 180 participants in demonstrations since 1929 and 51 county farm bureaus including terraces in programs. Terracing reduces soil loss, conserves moisture, and boosts yields. costs run similar to plowing on good land but higher on badly eroded fields. Experiments at a Missouri farm show five terraced corn fields lost only 2.89 tons per acre versus 104 tons on unterraced slopes. Dairy farmers in Wapsie Valley benefit from sudan grass pasture and silage to reduce feed costs, while extension specialists urge supplementary roughage when pastures decline.
