We have some flat and some steep slopes as well on our farm. The steeper ground is layed out in strips on the contour.We are still wide row so our strips are either 24 or 32 rows wide.We try to keep hay fields between the corn strips.We try not to plant headlands as end rows running up and down the hill will start a ditch.With baling you have to sometimes back up and turn your baler before you kick out a bale.When chopping silage you have to pay attention to how full you fill the wagons and on which side you fill them.When shelling corn I prefer to keep the unloading auger up the hill and in steep areas I will leave it full of corn as a counter weight.You have to unload your bin alot more and sometimes shell only one direction.The steepest slopes we harvest as ear corn with a pull type picker.It takes extra time but yeilds are good and soil loss is very little if farmed carefully.We do some no-till and use rye for cover crop as well.
