This unit can produce 3 tons of grass <br />hay per acre. <br />The potential plant community on this unit is mainly tutted hairgrass, <br />Nebraska sedge, and-slender wheatgrass. -~ that less numerrsis plants that <br />characterize this unit are ovelhead sedge, Baltic rush, willow, and w , <br />` shrubby cinquefoil. The average annual production of air-dry vegetation <br />~ is about 3000 pounds per acre. When the condition of the range <br />deteriorates, iris, clovers, Baltic rush, yarrow, and shrubby cinquefoil <br />Sncrease. Range seeding is suitable if the range is in poor condition. <br />The main limitations for seeding are wetness of `the soil in some areas <br />and short gror•ing season. Plants that tolerate wetness and are adapted <br />to a short growing season should be seeded. Livestock grazing should <br />be managed-to protect the unit from excessive erosion. <br />This unit is poorly suited to homesite development. The main limitations <br />are a seasonal high water table and the hazard of flooding. <br />I <br />i / <br />This mapping unit is in capability subclasses 1Vw, irrigated, and <br />~J Vw nonirrigated.
