Soils are of comparatively shallow depth and require <br /> <br />erosion control - comparatively low in fertility and productivity. Subject to a <br /> <br />f;:irly high degree of alkalinity. Special cropping practices required. <br /> <br />Sprinkler Irrigated Land <br /> <br />Part of the bnd within the subject arcas had been used during past years <br /> <br />. for cropping pllrposcs. This land has subsequently been returned to permanent <br /> <br />pasture use. <br /> <br />Dur-ing the past 18 months, due to the innovation of a self-propelled <br /> <br />sprinkler system and the apparent availability of good irrigation wells, a portion <br /> <br />of this land Ius becn subject to a chanr;e in use from pasture to cropping purposes <br /> <br />made possible by thc installation of this sprinkler system. <br /> <br />Land suitable to this cropping practice with good irrigation wells capable <br /> <br />of operating the self-propelled sprinkler system is currently subject to fairly <br /> <br />heav-j market pressures reflectcd in the sales price. <br /> <br />Irrigated Meadow Land <br /> <br />Irrigated meadow land in the areas, generally speaking, has been leveled <br /> <br />. for hay production. As a general rule these meadows have been seeded with tame <br />
