Question: ( A ) Estimate the average annual soil loss for 3 0 0 m field, moldboard plowed under corn - soybean rotation in mid Missouri.

(A) Estimate the average annual soil loss for 300 m field, moldboard plowed under corn-soybean rotation in mid Missouri. The soil is silt loam (21% coarse and medium sand, 3% very fine sand, 19% clay, and 57% silt) with 2.5% of soil organic matter content and slope of 3.8%. The structure is fine granular, and the saturated hydraulic conductivity is 55 mm h1. Make necessary assumptions, if any. (B) For problem (A), if the field is contoured, estimate the average annual soil loss. Relevant equations, figure, and tables are given in Appendix.
