I am no expert but I think a large part of the issue is the way erosion can affect surrounding properties and waterways.
Indeed, but that's an issue with most forms of flat crop cultivation, i don't know if there has been changes in how things are done in America, but growing corn involves the land being laid bare to the elements for most of the time.
If erosion is an issue soil can be stabilized with a anti-erosion mesh which can be left in place since there is no need to plow the land every season.
