What happens here

Josh is standing in a cleared area, with a bulldozer visible in the background, actively working. He explains that the bulldozer is putting 'final touches' on certain areas of the land. He points out that the bulldozer has cut grooves down the hill, which he believes is incorrect for preventing soil erosion. He elaborates that if it rains, water will wash down these grooves, creating ditches and causing significant runoff. He contrasts this with properly cut grooves that go against the lay of the land to retain water and prevent erosion. He emphasizes the danger of washing and runoff, stating that a three-foot deep ditch could form in minutes during a thunderstorm.

Goal: The farmer observes a bulldozer performing final touches on land leveling and discusses the importance of cutting grooves against the slope to prevent soil erosion, highlighting potential issues with improper land management.

so guys what you're seeing here is he's putting kind of the final touches on certain areas of land there are fires burning I think there are five huge fires burning one two three four five and there's one great big one we'll take you over here and show you now there are two directions he's cutting the grooves he's cut grooves down the hill right here which in my mind doesn't make any sense okay if you're gonna cut grooves down the hill if he's back dragging you can see right there's what he's doing he's just kind of back dragging and smoothing the land well if you cut the grooves down the hill and it rains up the hill it's gonna wash okay so in my mind I say that's not the right thing to do and I'm gonna ask him to cut several grooves this way just like he's done here so if you see this is horizontally this is against the lay of the land in other words it's not running off down the hill we don't want it to run off down the hill the entire danger with this is washing runoff and washing you
