Noncelcareous loams and silt loams that are less than 20 <br />percent clay and sandy clay looms, sandy clays, and hemic <br />soil material. These soils are slightly erodible. Crops <br />can be grovn if measures to control wind erosion are used. <br />6. Noncelcareous looms and silt looms that ere more then 20 <br />percent clay and noncelcareous clay looms that ere less then <br />35 percent clay. These soils are very slightly erodible. <br />Crops can be 9ro9n if ordinary measures to control wind <br />erosion are used. <br />7. Slits, noncelcareous silty clay loams that are Iess than <br />35 percent clay, and fibric soil material. These soils ere <br />very slightly erodible. Crops can be 9roun if ordinary <br />measures to control wind erosion are used. <br />8. Solis that are not subiect to wind erc,:on because of <br />coarse fragments on the surface or because of surface <br />wetness. <br />oa/u/ye <br />The WINO ERUOIBILITY INDEX is used in the vind erosion equation (WED). The index number indicates the <br />amount of soil lost in tons per acre per year. The range of vind erodibility indez numbers is 0 to 300. <br />
