Erosion costs and soil nutrient losses in crop production
An analysis shows topsoil erosion on farmland has a monetary impact. Lost nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphate, and potash, raise production costs per acre from $19 to $59 depending on fertilizer replacement. Conservation practices like crop rotations and contour farming can reduce erosion and protect yields. Contact Soil Conservation Service, Norwalk, for information.
