Soil Conservation
For this lesson, you will learn about ways to protect the soil. There are a few technics to save the soil. One way to protect the soil is to have something called cover crop. Cover crop is planting new crops over old dead crops so the soil won't become contaminated. You can also do something called no-till farming, terracing, contour plowing.
No-till Farming: prevents erosion by providing cover that reduces water runoff
Terraces: prevents erosion from heavy rains on steep hills
Contour Plowing: helps prevent erosion from heavy rains
