• • UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE - P, O, Box 487 - Brighton, Co. 80601 sulul:c•~: Adams Aggregate Co. Inc, un1e: 10/28/77 Tv ~Mr, Roman Bockua 1752 Ura Lane Denver, Colorado 80234 The soils information for the above property can be found in the 'Soil Survey of Adams County, G~lorado.' Reference maps #3 and X19 should be used for the exact location of the different soil types. A copy of these is included for your convenience, This property is broken up into three more or less distinct land uses: irrigated pastureland, non-irrigated pastureland and overflow land. The irrigated pastureland is mostly found along the east side of the property. Brome grass and Orchard grass are the slain grasses with small amounts of alfalfa. In its' present con- dition, I would estimate the annual yield to be about 3-5 tone per acre, The non-irrigated pastureland occurs between the irrigated land and the overflow land adjacent to the South Platte River, Western Wheatgrass, saltgrass, Blue Grams and Switchgrase are the most common grasses found in these areas. In the wetter areas sedges, rushes and cattails will be found. The overflow land is the land that is immediately next to the channel of the South Platte River. This area is subject to in- undation by water during times of flooding, Because of this, there is a large number of annual grasses and (orbs found here. These will include l~nchia weed, Russian Thistle, Curly Dock, Red root Pigweed, Prickly Poppy, Canadian Thistle and Whitetop. The annual grasses are made up of Downy Brome, annual Bluegr8las and annual Dropeeed. Other grasses include Western Wheatgrasa, Saltgraes, Blue Grams and switchgrass, If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to call on me. Sincerely, Norman J.
