Class III. Soils in Class III have more restrictions than those in Class II and when
• used for cultivated crops The conservation practices are usually more difficult to
apply and to maintain. They may be used for cultivated crops, pasture, woodland,
range, or wildlife food and cover.
Class IV. Soils in Class IV have very severe limitations that restrict the choice of
plants. When these soils are cultivated, more careful management is required and
conservation practices are more difficult to apply and maintain. The soils may be
used for crops, pasture, woodland, range or wildlife food and cover.
Class V. Soils in Class V have limitations that restrict the kind of plants that can
be grown and that prevent normal tillage of cultivated crops. They are nearly level
but some are wet, frequently overflowed by streams, stony, have climatic limitations,
or have some combination of these limitations. Pastures can be improved and
benefits from proper management can be expected.
Class VI. Physical conditions of soils placed in Class VI are such that it is practical
to apply range or pasture improvements, if needed, such as seeding, liming,
• fertilizing, and water control with contour furrows, drainage ditches, diversions, or
water spreaders. Soils in Class VI have continuing limitations that cannot be
corrected, such as (I) steep slope, (2) severe erosion hazard, (3) effects of past
erosion, (4) stoniness, (S) shallow rooting zone, (ti) excessive wetness or overflow, (7)
low moisture capacity, (8) salinity or sodium, or (9) severe climate. Because of one
or more of These limitations these soils are not generally suited to cultivated crops.
But they may be used for pasture, range, woodland, or wildlife cover or for some
combination of these.
Class VII. Physical conditions of soils in Class VII are such that it is impractical to
apply such pasture or range improvements as seeding, liming, fertilizing, and water
control with contour furrows, ditches, diversions, or woter spreaders. Soil
restrictions are more severe than those in Class VI because of one or more continuing
limitations that cannot be corrected, such as (I) very steep slopes, (2) erosion, (3)
shallow soil, (4) stones, (5) wet soil, (6) salts or sodium, (7) unfavorable climate, or
(8) other limitations that make them unsuited to common cultivated crops. They can
be used safely for grazing or woodland or wildlife food and cover or for some
• combination of these under proper management.
