Subject: RE: Tillage Erosion


See David Lobb's work (Lobb's homepage ).  In addition to the water moving soil down-slope, the tillage implements actually drag as much or more down-slope themselves.  The tonnage of soil moving down-slope with each tillage pass is huge.  Erosion is happening twice as fast as anyone previously thought.
