Instructions for Rusle2 Worksheet:

Please fill out the worksheet thoroughly. Complete one sheet for each client. Fields may be combined if they have the same crop rotation, tillage, yield, predominant soil, slope and slope length. If any of these items are significantly different enter the data as a different field. All soil disturbing operations and manure additions need to be included.

The four practices listed are the only ones that affect the Rusle2 calculation. Estimated row and channel (for terraces) grade are needed for soil loss. Conservation tillage, no-till, and residue levels are reflected in the tillage.
