bard to map separately. Potential production ranges from 2500 pounds
per acre in favorable years to 1500 pounds per acre in unfavorable
years. When range condition deteriorates , the tall and mid-grasses
decrease , blue gr+nna, sand dropseed ❑ud forbs increase and production
' drops . Undesirable weeds and annuals invade the site as range condition
becomes poorer.

Managcment of voietation on this soil should be based on taking half
! and leaving half of the total annual production. Seeding is only
advisable on areas large enough to prepare a sccdbed on or interseod
with an interseeder.
f
Switchgrass, sand blucsCem, sand rcedgrnss, sidcoa[s grama, little
bluestem, blue grama , pubescent wheatgrass and intermediate wheat-
� . grass are suitable for seeding. For successful seeding, use of an
I
iuterseeder or a firm, clean sorghum stubble -- prepared the growing
season prior to seeding -- and a grass drill are required. Early
spring seeding has proven most successful.
This soil is gcncrally not suited to the es[ablis,m+ent and growth of
trees and shrubs. On-site investigation is needed to dotermine
feasibility and possible tree and shrub species.
Wildlife is an important secondary use , with [hose soils best suited
for openland and rangeland wildlife . Tn cropland areas , habitat
favorable for ring-necked pheasants , mourning doves , and many non-
game species can be developed by establishing wildlife areas for
nesting and escape covet•. For pheasants , the inclusion of undisturbed p
nesting cover is vital and should be included in plans for habitat
development. This is especially true in areas cif intensive agriculture.
