Incorrect or poorly done plowing can lead to soil erosion, soil compaction, poor seedling emergence and just plain lower yields.
Two major causes of soil loss are erosion and deliberate removal. Erosion is natural weathering of soil through water, wind or other weather conditions.
Contour plowing is one way to reduce soil erosion. This method is also known for preventing tillage erosion. Preventing soil erosion helps reduce negative effects like flooding, reduced crop productivity, poor water quality and habitat destruction.
other soils have a poor resistance to erosion. A slope can increase the affects of erosion, obviously, because it increases speed, and destruction of the runoff and sediment.
Soils are thin and poor in hot wet climates because of the erosion of the loose surface soils.
Farming in the Bahamas is difficult because of the tropical conditions. The soil is a cause of poor transportation.
Poor farming in the 19th century made the Providence Canyon
It is a destructive landform, deep erosion gullies caused by poor farming practices two centuries ago (1800s).
Providence canyon was formed by erosion due to poor farming practices in th 1800's. Providene canyon was NOT formed by a crater.

Poor farming and grazing practices have led to desertification in the Sahel in Africa below the Sahara.
Contour plowing is one way to reduce soil erosion. This method is also known for preventing tillage erosion. Preventing soil erosion helps reduce negative effects like flooding, reduced crop productivity, poor water quality and habitat destruction.
Poor farming practices in low rainfall areas can lead to desertification, soil erosion, and loss of agricultural productivity. These practices can deplete soil nutrients, reduce water retention capacity, and increase susceptibility to droughts, ultimately impacting food security and livelihoods in those regions.
