Evenly distributing the irrigation supply and planting in steep slopes is contour farming.
Some crops that are planted in the contour method are corn, soybeans, wheat, grass and legumes.
Soil erosion is an enemy to farmers. So farmers can rely on contour farming to battle soil erosion.
Best applied on moderately sloped land. Slope gradients are between 2% and 10%.
Conduct a typographic survey, create field borders, and consider farming parallel to the baseline.
Contour farming is cost effective as creating rows is much less expensive than traditional farming.
