You actually plow slightly up to the valleys and down to the ridges, this
will stop water cocentrating in the valleys and spread it evenly over all of
the land.In that way Keyline plowing slows erosion and increases soil
moisture on the ridges, so the ridges are no longer dry areas and become
more productive.
