When deciding between contour plowing and terracing what might a farmer consider?

That really all depends on where that farmer lives, what terrain he/she has to farm off, and the costs of contour plowing versus terracing. Some areas are not suitable for crop farming no matter what the options are, so the answer to that could be neither contour plowing nor terracing.

List three methods of soil conservation that helps to prevent the loss of soil?
contour plowing, terracing, and no-till farming
What can soil erosion be prevented?
By terracing, contour plowing, natural vegetation, strip cropping, using trees as windbreaks, reforestation and afforestation.
What are the difference's between contour interval and index contour?
What are the difference's between contour interval and index contour?
What is the difference between a contour interval and an index contour?
the contour interval is the difference in elevation between contour lines that are next to each other
What is the difference between terracing and contour farming?
Terracing involves creating steps or platforms on steep slopes to reduce erosion and retain water, whereas contour farming involves planting crops along the natural contours of the land to minimize soil erosion and water runoff. Terracing is more commonly used on steep slopes, while contour farming can be applied on various terrains to promote sustainable agriculture practices.

Contour plowing and terracing?
Contour plowing is the farming practice of plowing across a slope following its elevation contour lines. On sloped land, contour plowing is done such that rows are side by side but each row follows a path such that every point on it is at the same elevation. So, for example, to plow a round hillock you would plow concentric circles around the hill top to bottom. The resultant furrow lines look just like the contour lines on a contour map. With this plowing method the rows hold water instead of draining it downward and becoming eroded.
