Strategically Apply Hay to Prevent Washing

What happens here

With the collected hay loaded onto a utility vehicle, drive to the identified wash areas. Begin applying the hay to the upper sections of the slope where erosion typically starts. Distribute the hay in a thick layer, ensuring good coverage. The purpose of this application is to reduce the momentum of rainwater flowing over the soil surface, preventing it from carrying away valuable topsoil. By slowing the water, the hay allows for greater infiltration, reducing runoff and promoting soil stabilization. Continue this process for all identified wash spots, aiming for comprehensive coverage.

Goal: Spread a thick layer of hay over identified wash areas, starting from the upper sections, to slow down water momentum and prevent further erosion. This physical barrier protects the soil and encourages water infiltration.
