The Natural Resource Conservation Service soil survey reports yields for common crops <br /> (1980) as follows for the Julesburg, Bresser, and Nunn map units; alfalfa hay (5.5 <br /> tons/acre), sugar beets (23-24 tons/acre), corn (150-180 bushels/acre), corn silage (33-35 <br /> tons/acre), dry pinto beans (2400-2700 pounds/acre), onions (525-550 sacks/acre), and <br /> potatoes (325-350 hundredweight/acre). <br /> Threatened and Endangered Species and Critical Habitat <br /> Potential habitat for the Ute ladies'-tresses orchid (Spiranthes diluvialis), the sole <br /> threatened or endangered plant species known in the area, is not present within the project <br /> site. There are no subirrigated hay fields with native vegetation containing typical plant <br /> associates of the orchid. The current proposed project site does not include disturbance to <br /> Ute ladies'-tresses orchid potential critical habitat; therefore, no further evaluation was <br /> undertaken. <br /> Exhibit J Page 2 <br />
