Farming and ranching involve the fields of biology, ecology, chemistry, botany, physics, geology, meteorology, politics, economics, psychology and mechanics, just to name a few. This is yet another reason to prioritize diversity of species in cash crop rotations, cover crop mixes and pasture composition.

The mechanical disturbance of soil through forms of tillage destroys soil aggregate structure, leaving the collapsed soil structure vulnerable to erosion, which sets the stage for wind and water erosion. This is important because sand, silt and clay particles bound together into aggregates are not prone to erosion from wind or rain.
