Figure 12.24Erosion by water on cropland in 2012, in tons per acre per year. Considerable progress has been made in reducing erosion since 1982 (inset), but there are clearly broad areas where significant erosion still occurs. After USDA NRCS National Resources Inventory 2012. According to Figure 12.24, the state that is the worst for erosion rates in both 1982 and 2012 is IA (lowa) O FL (Florida) O IL (Illinois) NM (New Mexico)
