3. Targets : 6.e.2.4 – SOIL STEWARDSHIP
1. I can explain some ways soil is conserved
2. continue working on my project on soil stewardship

4. CROP ROTATION
is a system for growing several different crops in planned succession on the same field, including at least one soil-conserving crop such as perennial hay.

5. CONTOUR FARMING
Contour farming is growing crops "on the level" across or perpendicular to a slope rather than up and down the slope.

6. Terrace
A terrace is an earthen embankment, ridge or ridge-and-channel built across a slope (on the contour) to intercept runoff water and reduce soil erosion.

7. Windbreaks
Field windbreaks are linear plantings of trees/shrubs designed to reduce wind speed in open fields, preventing soil erosion and protecting adjacent crops from wind damage.
