Answer:

These ditches will save farmers money, especially when combined with cover crops. An Indiana farmer reported using less fertilizer because fewer nutrients wash away. The ditches need to be dug out less often. It costs money to dig out a ditch, so limiting this expense will save farmers money in the long run.
