The hill ground is washed away, the beans on it probably didn't make 20 bu. Per acre this year. Years of no fertilizer will cause this.
It didnt ALL wash away during a 1-3-or even a 5 year contract. Plus it was prolly already a farm that should have been taken better
care of before the last guy got it.
I started renting a particular field in 2002. Upstream is hilly field. Most of the runoff comes across my field, through a curving grassed waterway. At the time I started renting it, that waterway was over ten feet deep where it entered my field. There are a couple long power poles laid across it, and I had measured from the middle of those poles.
That field got a new tenet at the same time I started on mine. They disk and harrow multiple times per season, leaving no residue.
Those power poles, that were more than ten feet in the air in 2002, were buried in silt by 2009. I have to clean around 1,000 yards of silt out of that waterway every few years, to keep it lower than my cropped ground. Where the property line runs along the slope, their side has dropped around five feet compared to my side today.
I don't know your definition of wrecked ground, but that's pretty close for me.
