Control gullies by eliminating the cause through terracing
R C Hay from the University of Illinois explains terracing as a method to prevent gullies by diverting runoff and reducing erosion. Slack season after harvest is ideal for terracing work on cultivated slopes. Terraced fields lose far less soil than unterraced ones, though water must be managed to prevent new outlets. Bald eagles nests are often near water due to feeding on fish.
