<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />sandy loam, very gravelly sandy loam, stony loam, or cobbly clay loam <br />surface layer. The subsoil is very gravelly loamy sand, stony fine <br />sandy loam, very cobbly sandy clay loam, very stony clay, clay, or clay <br />loam. Depth to bedrock ranges fry 10 to 60 inches or more, Slopes are <br />1 to 55 percent. Permeability is moderately slow to rapid. Runoff is <br />slow to rapid, and the erosion hazard is alight to high. Available <br />water capacity is low to high. The effective rooting depth is 10 to <br />60 inches or more, <br />These soils are used as range and as habitat for wildlife. They <br />• <br />are suited to permanent vegetation. Suitable grasses are big bluestem, <br />little bluestem, needlegrass, and side-oats grams. Proper management of <br />range is necessary. To maintain the vigor of the grasses and to reduce <br />erosion, no more than half of the current year's growth should be grazed. <br />Reseeding these soils is difficult, and in some places impossible, <br />because of the slope, rock outcrops, and amount of stones, cobblestones <br />and gravel." <br /> <br />
