11. Erosion is a process that removes soil layers and carries them away from farmer's fields to bodies of water or other land. There are three primary kinds of erosion: wind, water, and tillage. In areas where the land is especially flat or dry, wind erosion is a problem. As wind blows it spreads soil particles across the land. Water erosion may occur gradually during rainfall or when winter snow melts in fields. It can also happen suddenly during floods. Tillage erosion is mostly caused by the way a farmer tills the land. The kind of equipment a farmer uses, how often the farmer tills the fields, and how the farmer manages the fields during the winter months affect how much soil may be lost. Heavy machinery, frequent tilling, and lack of soil cover during winter months contributes to soil erosion.
