Your starting point
Current field passes, crop inputs and conservation costs.
Coming soon
SOIL. WATER. PRACTICAL CHOICES.
Read the land.
Plan what changes.
See how the shape of the field connects to runoff and soil movement. Compare management choices, then put the cost of a change alongside its soil-loss screening estimate.
THE IDEA BEHIND EROSION PLAN
One field.
Part of a watershed.
Rain falls across the landscape. Runoff follows the slope, collects in low areas and can connect fields to a larger drainage network. Soil may move with that water or settle along the way.
Erosion Plan starts with terrain, soils, rainfall and management to help you explore where a change deserves a closer look.
FROM THE MAP TO THE DECISION
A simple way
to compare the options.
Keep the field context together. Change a practice, review the screening comparison and see what it would mean for your operation.
Read the terrain
Bring the field boundary, slopes, soils and drainage context into view.
Set the baseline
Describe your crop, tillage, residue, cover and existing conservation practices.
Compare a change
Review supported alternatives against the same baseline and input years.
Put costs beside it
Compare annual costs per acre and across the field before choosing a next step.
THE PLANNED ECONOMICS VIEW
A practice has a cost.
Put it in the picture.
Keep the soil-loss estimate and the financial comparison side by side. Use your own costs to see what changes, without assigning a preset dollar value to soil.
What changes
Added practices, avoided passes and ongoing maintenance.
Per acre. Whole field.
The annual cost difference alongside the soil-loss screening comparison.
Cover & residue
Seed, establishment and termination costs.
Tillage & field passes
Fuel, labor and equipment costs.
Conservation practices
Installation spread over its useful life, maintenance and confirmed cost share.
KEEP THE RESULT IN CONTEXT
Start with a comparison.
Take it to the field.
Use the map and comparison to focus a field visit, discuss a practice change and identify the inputs that need a closer look.
What will the first comparison cover?
The current foundation estimates source sheet-and-rill soil loss for screening. The watershed illustration explains landscape connections; it does not show a calculated sediment load at the outlet. Customer coverage, supported practices and economics are still being developed.
