Water intake rate ie moderate and water <br />holding capacity is high. <br />RO-D Peyton sandy loam, 5 to 936 elopes <br />Non-irrigated Land Capability Unit - IVs <br />This mapping unit is similar to RO-B except for the percent of <br />elopes. <br />Sandy Divide Good winter snow cover followed by early spring showers and <br />scattered heavy summer thunderstorms give this site a high <br />potential for productive forage growth. Production reaches as <br />high as 2$00 pounds per acre, air-dry, in favorable years. <br />Mountain muhly, little blueetem, needle-and-thread and Arizona <br />fescue, combined with lesser percentages of Prairie sandreed, <br />and big blueetem make up a major portion of the vegetative <br />cover. This site is subject to invasion by Kentucky bluegrass. <br />and Gambel oak. <br />SEEDING RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Seedbed Preparation <br />1.) Remove all rocks, trash and other debris from the soil surface that will <br />interfere with seeding, site utilization and maintenance. <br />2.) Areas of fill soil end other loose soils should be firmed. This usually <br />requires irrigating and cultipacking, and additional fill soil in the <br />low areas. These steps should be repeated until the area is smooth, firm <br />and free from settling. <br />3.) Till the ground to a depth of 4 to 6 inches. <br />
