<br />NONTECHNICAL SOILS DESLR Ir ~iON REPORT <br />weldrge <br />Map ~ Soil name and description <br />Syidwl <br />Class III - Severe limitations that reduce choice of <br />crops or require special conservation practices or both. <br />Class VII - Not suited for cultivation. Very severe <br />limitations. Suited for range, woodland or wildlife <br />uses if carefully managed. Usually cannot apply <br />physical practices such as pitting, furrowing, seeding, <br />etc. <br />E - Erosion by wind of water is the major problem. <br />C - Climate is the major hazard. Growing season may be <br />very short; there is a shortage of rainfall or both. <br />Ne ~ Nesa clay loam, 2 to 5 percent slopes <br />This unit is suited for irrigated hay and pasture. <br />Furrow, drip, and sprinkler irrigation is suited to <br />this soil. Irrigation water needs to be applied at a <br />rate that insures optimum production without increasing <br />~ deep percolation, runoff, and erosion. Use of pipe <br />reduces water loss and deep pertola[i on. Tilth and <br />fertility can be improved by returning crop residue to <br />the soil and using a suitahle rotation. Excessive <br />cultivation can result in the formation of a tillage <br />pan. This pan tan be broken by subsoiling when the <br />soil is dry. Because of the undulating topography and <br />slope, onsite inves[i gatians are needed before <br />leveling. Care should betaken in leveling designs to <br />avoid cuts into unsuitable soil material. <br />
