<br /> <br />Representative profile of McClave clay loam, located 950 feet south and 60 feet <br />west of the center of sec. 11, T.2 N., R. 69 W.: <br />Ap-0 to 7 inches, dark grayish-brown (1 OYR 4/2) light clay loam. very <br />dark brown (1 OYR 2/2) when moist; strong, medium, granular <br />structure; sofr, very friable; neutral; cleaz, smooth boundary. <br />A12-7 to 19 inches, grayish brown (lOYR 5/2) light clay loam, very dazk <br />grayish brown (lOYR 3/2) when moist; weak, fine, subangular <br />blocky structure; hard, firm; neutral; gradual, wavy boundary. <br />AL13g-19 to 40 inches, grayish-grown (lOYR 5/2) light clay loam with <br />many fine, distinct, brown (7.5 YR 5/4) mottles; very dark grayish <br />brown (]OYR 3/2) when moist; weak, medium, subangular blocky <br />structure; hard, firm; neutral; gradual, wavy boundary. <br />Clg--40 to 60 inches, brown (lOYR 5/3) light clay loam with many, large, <br />distinct, brown, (7.SYR 5/4) mottles; brown (1 OYR 4/3) when <br />moist; massive, slightly hard, very friable; neutral. <br />The A horizon ranges from 25 to 40 inches in thickness. <br />Mottles are present in the lower part of the A horizon. The C <br />horizon is typically a light clay loam or loam, but in places it is <br />sandy loam. Some areas are underlain by sand and gravel at a depth <br />of more than 40 inches. <br />McClave clay loam (0 to 1 percent slopes) (Mm).-This soil is on stream <br />terraces and bottoms in the eastern part of the Area. Inmost places it occurs as areas <br />more than 20 acres in size. <br />Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Calkins sandy loam, 0 to 1 <br />percent slopes, and Loveland soils. Also included is a McClave-like soil that has a <br />heavy clay loam surface layer less than 24 inches thick. In places, the surface layer is <br />light colored, the subsoil is a heavy loam, and lime occurs throughout the profile. <br />Included soils make up about 15 percent of each mapped area. <br />Runoff is slow on this soil. The erosion hazard is slight. <br />All of the acreage of this soil is used for irrigated crops. Some azeas are used to <br />produce vegetables. Some of those areas that have a water table between depths of 2 <br />and 3 feet are used for irrigated pasture.
