Farmers can plow furrows across a slope rather than up and down which is called what?
Plowing across a slope is called contour plowing. It is a technique that creates furrows that run fairly level across slopes, and this greatly reduces any washing away of soil during rain events. (You can imagine what would happen if it rained on a slope that was plowed up and down.) A link can be found below for more information.
