Contouring/Cross Slope Farming
ØTo have contouring, must have ridge heights
-To have ridge height, must have operation
-Ridge height assigned in operation
ØRow grade
-Relative row grade (preferred) or absolute
ØCreate contouring practices based on relative row grade (row grade/land slope)
-Perfect (0%), exceeds NRCS specs (5%), meets specs (10%),  Cross slope (25%), Cross slope (50%)
ØName and save contouring practice
Contouring practice that is named and saved only saves a row grade.
The other part of the contouring description is the ridge heights described in the soil disturbance effect used to describe operations.
Remember: no ridges-no contouring effect.  To increase contouring effect, reduce row grade and increase ridge height.
An operation is required to create a ridge height.
