How can we prevent the loss of top soil?

Solution.

We can’t completely eliminate soil erosion, but we can reduce the loss of top soil. Maintaining grass waterways in low areas of the fields reduce water runoff and mean fewer nutrients leaving fields. Crops planted in narrow rows canopy provide more protection of the soil. Planting crop rows perpendicular to slopes tends to decrease water runoff and increase infiltration. Conventional tillage produces a smooth surface that leaves soil vulnerable to erosion.
