How to prevent soil erosion?

To prevent soil erosion, you must apply cover crops all year round in your field. This means that the soil will never remain bare again for any reason. Leaving the soil bare is the number one factor that causes soil erosion. When you harvest your main crop, plant a cover crop as soon as possible. Crop rotation is also important for preventing soil erosion. Finally, mulching can help in preventing that.
