Water intake rate is moderate and water <br /> holding capacity is high. <br /> RO-D Peyton sandy loam, 5 to 9i6 elopes <br /> Non-irrigated Land Capability Unit - IVe <br /> This mapping unit is similar to RO-B except for the percent of <br /> slopes. <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 2500 pounds per acre, air-dry, in favorable years. <br /> Mountain muhly, little bluestem, needle-and-thread and Arizona <br /> fescue, combined with lesser percentages of Prairie sandreed, <br /> and big bluestem 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 and 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 />
