The SCS estimated yield figures for alfalfa, sugar beets, corn, corn <br />silage, and pinto beans grown in these types of soils are shown below. <br />TABLE 4.

Restricting storage would reduce the amount of water <br />available to farmers and could force them to change the types of crops grown. <br /> <br />C.
