ACRE

Terraces Only - Terraces with pipe outlets, discharging directly to stream, or non-vegetated channels.

Terraces and Waterways - Terraces with outlets to grass waterways or pasture.

Waterway Only - Grassed or vegetated channels which convey field runoff to a stream, without terraces.

Filter Strip- A strip of grass or dense vegetation at the edge of a field which removes sediments and nutrients before runoff reaches a stream. Engineered to prevent concentrated flow.

Pond 50%- Pond which drains 50% of field area.

Pond 75%- Pond which drains 75% of field area.

Conservation tillage - Reduced tillage targeted to leave 30% residue on the soil surface after planting. Defined as having a Soil Tillage Intensity Ratio (STIR) between 25 and 60.

Minimum tillage - Reduced tillage targeted to leave more than 30% residue after planting. Includes no-till systems. Defined as having STIR values less than 25.

Nutrient Management I - A 10% reduction in nitrogen and phosphorus applied to the field while maintaining realistic production goals.

Nutrient Management II - A 25% reduction in nitrogen and phosphorus applied, applicable for producers initially overapplying fertilizers.
