The <br />soil is moderately alkaline. <br />Included in this unit is about 5 percent CasCa,JO very gravelly <br />sandy loam on Short breaks. <br />Permeability of this Kim soil is moderate. Available water <br />capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. <br />. Runoff is medium to rapid, and the hazard of water erosion is moderate <br />to very high. <br />Most areas of this unit are used for rangeland. A few areas are <br />used for irrigated hayland and pastureland. <br />The potential plant community on this unit is mainly blue grama, <br />western wheatgrass, and needleandthread. The average annual <br />production of air-dry vegetation is about 1,100 pounds per acre. If <br />the condition of the range deteriorates, blue grama, rod threeawn, <br />broom snakeweed, and rabbitbrush increase.
