Northeast ks
We call them tile terraces, here. Lots of them have been put in place of waterways, so you can farm the whole area. Normally, the tile and risers are put in first. Then, you would put flags every 50 or 100 ft from the riser needing about .4 ft fall for every 100 ft (NRCS will put the flags out and give specs here). After the flags are in place, I make a furrow with the dozer where the terrace channel will be. Then to make the terrace itself, you just push the dirt downhill, might have to make multiple pushes.
