In order to heal severely eroded areas of sidehills we have been hauling dirt into these spots. This is the only way to get the production back to what it use to be. Even with 10 years of No-Till the soil structure was so damaged and topsoil completely gone that it would take hundreds to thousands of years to restore it by natural means. This is why we are using the scraper, loader and trucks to haul the soil back where it use to be years ago.

The following pix will show the tons of soil that have washed off these hills from years of erosion caused by rains on tilled ground. We will haul this soil to the upper left part of the field below.

This next picture is the bottom view of the waterway as seen from the image above.
I used a plow to turn over the sod and then used a 3010 with loader to put it into piles.

We put this waterway in about 10 years ago but only did so temporarily. At this time we had been No-Tilling this farm for a couple of years but this farm ground hasn't stabilized until the last few years. Because of all the severe erosion from the previous 50 years of tillage there is so much soil filled in the bottom that several "waterway" areas have formed. So by removing more soil from this main waterway to make it lower we have enough slope for the runoff water to run down to it from the other areas.

This picture shows the sod layer being removed.

After removing the sod layer I plowed another layer and used the 3010 to put this layer into piles.
