After one rain, cross slope runoff on this down hill [sic], straight rowed field cut shallow gullies (4" deep) to the depth of bedded rows. Since then, cotton in the field has been cultivated once or twice and visual evidence of erosion has almost been obliterated. Damage to the field remains unaltered, however."
