Answer 5

Furrowing - crop rotation helps stabilize and replenish the soils, and contour plowing reduces the amount of wind and water erosion by following naturally formed contours

Answer 6

The distinction between plowing and furrowing must be that furrowing by some convention excludes furrowing on the contour.

But in areas with drifting dry soil, furrowing across the direction of the wind can bring that wind erosion under control long enough for a crop to emerge and keep the soil there. So, furrowing can be a potent soil preservation strategy in those conditions.

Furrowing with a chisel plow that allows rain to penetrate instead of running off and so preventing  erosion, not clearly an erosion control primaryy strategy, but done on a contour, why not?

Clearly in some conditions contour plowing can protect soil from water erosion. It is the only one of these strategies used exclusively for soil conservation.

Crop rotation is less clearly a soil conservation strategy, even though it has some benefits. It is not primarily done to conserve soil.
