40 <br />This map unit is not suited to nonkrigfated crops <br />because of the slope and the hazards of water erosion <br />and sod bbwIng. <br />Controlled Rvestodc management is the major <br />management practice needed on this unit. <br />The malt kttkttr m aff cft wkxboaks and <br />ernriravnental plantings are the slope and low <br />precipitation. The Wages sod is also subject to the <br />hazard of sod blowing, and the Eddsy sal is draughty <br />and has small stones. This map unit is not suited to <br />Windbreaks and environmental plantings in areas <br />where the slope is more than 9 percent. Fabricated <br />mulches protect the sod by reducing the acreage of <br />land that is cultivated. Planting the trees on the <br />cortoux helps to conserve moisfura summer fallow, <br />cultivation for weed control. and selec don of adapted <br />plants help to ensue tine establishment and survival of <br />seedlings. <br />23—Fort Collins ioam,1 to 3 percent <br />Soil Survey of <br />Add ftkXW oampoenents: <br />Stoneham and similar sods: 5 percent <br />(timet and sirdar soils: 5 percent <br />Pleasant and succor sails: 4 percent <br />Lodgepote and simAar soils: l percent <br />AftJorusew Nonirrigaled cropland avid iaigeland <br />The main QrnLlhons afbciirg nonirrigated crops <br />are low precon and the hazard of soil blowing. <br />Because the amount of precipitaltion is not suifi 'sent <br />for annual cropping. the best cropping system is ase <br />that mkrdes small grain and summer WOw raving <br />crop residue on or near the surface helps to conserve <br />"md rej maintdn tilth, and control erosion. <br />Controlled livestock management is the major <br />maragernent practice needed on t#iis map unit. <br />The mainand <br />environmental plantings are low precipitation and the <br />hazard of soil blowing. <br />slopes <br />24-Glmbwg sandy loam, l to 4 percent <br />SeMg <br />slopes, rarely flooded <br />Location: This map unit occurs in the southwestern <br />Setting <br />part of the survey area adjacent to Cheyenne <br />CourX Coronado. <br />Location: This map unit occurs in the northern part of <br />Efevatbrr 4,301 to 5,200 feet <br />the survey area along the Republican (liver. <br />&i"n arvWWprsc tbn:13 tD i6 undies <br />Ekneflon; 3,901 to 4,600 feet <br />Frog-hae pedoct 145 to 148 days <br />Mom WVxa/preapftffon:14 to 17 inches <br />Note: This very deep, well drained sod is on nearly <br />Frost -free period: 148 to 152 days <br />level and gently sloping plains. it formed in eolian <br />Note: This very deep, well drained sod is on flood <br />material over alltrA ri.
