Also included are small areas of Poudre <br />soils. <br />Runoff ie slow, and the hazard of water erosion is <br />alight. <br />If irrigated, this soilie suited to barley and pasture. <br />if drained, it is suited to corn and, to a lesser extent, <br />sugar beets. Under dryland management it is well <br />sorted to pasture and native grasses.

Elevation ranges <br />from 4,800 to b,800 teat. 3Jopea are 6 to 26pe rcent. <br />The native vegetation is blue grams, buffalograes, <br />western wheatgrasa, cactus, and fringed sage. Mean <br />annual precipitation ranges from 13 to 16 inches, mean <br />annual air temperature ranges from 48° to 60° F, and <br />the froabfree season ranges from 136 to 160 days. <br />In a representative profile the surface layer is light <br />olive brown clay loam about 4 inches thick.
