Encourages the minimization of soil disturbance by eliminating traditional plowing and tilling, thereby maintaining soil structure and reducing erosion.

The CRP incentivizes farmers to convert highly erodible land or other environmentally sensitive acreage to vegetative cover, such as grasses or trees.

Promotes the practice of rotating different crops over time on the same land to improve soil fertility and reduce erosion.

Supports the creation of terraces on slopes to reduce runoff and soil loss, conserving nutrients and preventing erosion.

Provides subsidies or support for soil testing and mapping to inform landowners about soil conditions and guide soil conservation practices.

Mandates plowing along the contours of the land, which helps reduce runoff and soil erosion by creating natural barriers.

Provides financial support or other incentives for planting cover crops, which protect the soil from erosion between planting seasons.

Promotes pest management approaches that minimize soil disturbance and degradation, combining biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools.

Encourages integrating trees and shrubs into crop systems, which helps protect soil from erosion and can improve land productivity.
