[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1515428, member: 24583"] I will explain it like this and then I will leave it alone. A properly designed terrace doesn’t “dump” water. It slows it down. It keeps water from washing across the field thereby creating erosion issues. A terrace should be viewed more as a “dam” of sorts. BUT it shouldn’t hold water for an extended time or it will of course drown the crop. Ideally it will empty slowly if the terrain permits. If you have “heavy” soils that don’t drain well and your terrace holds water too long, then you need to install drain tile. [/QUOTE]
