j 1 I A <br />EXHIBIT J <br />Haxtun Loamy Sand-The potential native vegetation is dominantly sand bluestem, <br />needelandthread, prairie sandreed, switchgrass, little bluestem, and blue grama. If the <br />range is overgrazed, these grasses decrease in number, and sand sagebrush, sand <br />dropseed, and wild buckwheat increase. Undesirable weeds and annual plants invade and <br />increase as the range condition deteriorates. <br />Manter loamy sand-The potential native vegetation on this soil is dominantly <br />prairie sandreed, sand bluestem, switchgrass, blue grama, and needleandthread. <br />Continuous heavy grazing will cause sand bluestem, needleandthread, switchgrass, and <br />prairie sandreed to decrease in the plant community, and blue grama. Sand sagebrush, <br />and sand dropseed will increase. Extremely heavy use will cause annual weeds and <br />grasses to invade. The range potential on this soil is can best be realized through sand <br />sagebrush management, deferred grazing, and seeding, where needed. Badly depleted <br />native grassland can be improved by interseeding. Nonirrigated cropland can be <br />converted to grass by seeding with a mixture selected from the wheatgrasses, sand <br />bluestem, switchgrass, and indiangrass. The clean, firm stubble of sorghum or millet, is <br />suitable as a seedbed. For best results, seeding should take place in early spring. <br />Valent sand, 1 to 9 percent slopes-The potential native vegetation on this soil is <br />dominantly sand bluestem, needleandthread, prairie sandreed, and blue grama. If the <br />range deteriorates, prairie sandreed, switchgrass, and sand bluestem decrease in number, <br />and blue grama sand sagebrush, and yucca increase. Soil blowing is a hazard on <br />overgrazed range. The main conservation practices on rangeland are sand sagebrush <br />management, fencing, livestock water development, and deferred grazing. <br />
