This tool will help determine soil erosion levels on your farm. It will allow you to test different crop rotations and crop management systems (i.e. tillage, cover crop, terracing) to reduce the potential for soil erosion. To use the tool just select your field from the map and input your crop rotation and management practices. Soil erosion levels are calculated based on available soil information, rainfall data and inputs of crops, cropping practices and slope length. (read more)
