My mom told me once that you can't just do whatever you want anymore (I tell her these sorts of things too, F them do it anyway, about terraces and other things) because the NEIGHBORS will rat you out for not following rules. And then DOA comes knocking. Amerika has come to Rural Areas too.
Actually, terraces are pretty good idea because they conserve the precious topsoil. Our nearby lake used to be really deep years before farming started up bigtime in the area. It filled with silt and is now shallow from the runoff that came from the fields before they started terracing.
My grandpa made lots of bank when Iowa started requiring them, he got a tiler and loader, went and built them himself, and then contracted out to build for others, to code. They are a bit of a pain to put in and maintain, but I agree they are a good thing overall. I just don't like being told what to do :)
