Strategically Place Hay Bales for Erosion Control

up top so we're looking at one hundred and fifty dollars worth of hay bales on a piece of land that is scrubby so this is the worst spot currently on the farm and it's wash and you can see there is a little gully right there and up here by this hay bale it's just red dirt what we're doing again is mapping this out on line seeing the problem areas and rolling out carbon on here now we set these hay bales out in the worst possible places to slow water down and to help water absorb into the land so what the entire goal of building carbonaceous material on your soil is is to retain moisture so that you don't get that gullies gullies that wash out this hay bale is positioned where it is for a reason the cows will come over here they'll start eating it they'll but it it'll roll right down through that gully fill it in slow the water down and no more gully that's what it's all about controlling erosion no more gully and
