Map Unit Description(Brief, Generated)---Prowers County,Colorado West Farm Pit Generated brief soil descriptions are created for major soil components. The Numa soil is a minor component. Map Unit: RoB—Rocky Ford clay loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes Component: Rocky Ford (90%) The Rocky Ford component makes up 90 percent of the map unit. Slopes are 1 to 3 percent. This component is on flood plains, terraces. The parent material consists of clayey alluvium from irrigation water over silty alluvium. Depth to a root restrictive layer is greater than 60 inches. The natural drainage class is well drained. Water movement in the most restrictive layer is moderately high. Available water to a depth of 60 inches (or restricted depth) is high. Shrink-swell potential is low. This soil is not flooded. It is not ponded. There is no zone of water saturation within a depth of 72 inches. Organic matter content in the surface horizon is about 1 percent. This component is in the R069XY006CO Loamy Plains, Lru's A& B 10-14 Inches, Rz. ecological site. Nonirrigated land capability classification is 4c. Irrigated land capability classification is 3e. This soil does not meet hydric criteria. The calcium carbonate equivalent within 40 inches, typically, does not exceed 10 percent. There are no saline horizons within 30 inches of the soil surface. The soil has a maximum sodium adsorption ratio of 2 within 30 inches of the soil surface. Component: Numa (5%) Generated brief soil descriptions are created for major soil components. The Numa soil is a minor component. Component: Kornman (5%) Generated brief soil descriptions are created for major soil components. The Kornman soil is a minor component.
