<br />of soils that are more eloping. Also included are small
<br />areas of Loveland soils and a few minor areas of
<br />gravel bars.
<br />Runoff is slow, and the hazard of erosion ie alight.
<br />If irrigated, this soil is suited to barley and sugar
<br />beets and, to a leaser extent, corn. It is also wall

<br />and a few small areas of soils that have a surface
<br />layer of loam. Also included are small areas of Poudre
<br />soils.
<br />Runoff is slow, and the hazard of water erosion ie
<br />slight.
<br />if irrigated, this soil is suited to barley and pasture.
<br />If drained, it %s suited to corn and, to a lesser extent,
<br />sugar beets. Under dryland management it is well
<br />suited to pasture and native grasses. Capability units

<br />area; of s tL.n ace more sloping. Also included an
<br />a few smal areas of Caruso and Table Dlomrtain ,oil:
<br />and some gravel spots.
<br />Runoff is slow. The hazard of water erosion is slight
<br />and the Lazard of wind erosion is moderate. This soi
<br />is flooded in places, especially near stream channels.
<br />If irrigated, this soil is suited to corn, sugar beets
<br />beans, barley, alfalfa, and wheat. Under drylanc
<br />management it is suited to wheat and barley. It is alsc

<br />and some small areas of soils in which slopes are more
<br />than 1 percent. Also included are a few small areas of
<br />Caruso and Paoli soils and small areas of soils in which
<br />sand and gravel layers are at a depth of about 40
<br />inches.
