How to Identify and Combat Soil Erosion on Your Farm

Soil erosion is the process by which the top layer of soil is carried away by wind, water, or human activity. This loss of fertile topsoil can have serious consequences for agriculture. Healthy soil is the foundation of successful farming, as it provides nutrients, retains water, and supports root growth. When erosion occurs, these essential qualities are compromised, leading to reduced crop yields and degraded land.
