peer agreement (net): +1الزراعة وفقاً لتضاريس الأرض Definition from Answers.com  :contour farming is the farming practice of plowing across a slope following its elevation contour lines. The rows formed slows water run-off during rainstorms to prevent soil erosion and allows the water time to settle into the soil. In contour plowing, the ruts made by the plow run perpendicular rather than parallel to slopes, generally resulting in furrows that curve around the land and are level. A similar practice is contour bunding where stones are placed around the contours of slopes. Read more: http://www.answers.com/topic/contour-plowing#ixzz1PtUuc4u5 Example sentence(s):
