wetness correctable by drainage but existing permanently as <br /> • a moderate limitation, and (8) slight climatic limitations <br /> on soil use and management . <br /> The soils in this class provide the farm operator less <br /> latitude in the choice of either crops or management practices <br /> than soils in Class I . They may also require special soil- <br /> conserving cropping systems, soil conservation practices , <br /> water-control devices , or tillage methods when used for <br /> cultivated crops . For example, deep soils of this class <br /> with gentle slopes subject to moderate erosion when cultivated <br /> may need one of the following practices or some combination <br /> of two or more : Terracing , striperopping , contour tillage, <br /> crop rotations that include grasses and legumes , vegetated <br /> waterdisposal areas , cover or green-manure crops , stubble <br /> mulching, fertilizers , manure, and lime . The exact combinations <br /> of practices vary from place to place, depending on the <br /> characteristics of the soil, the local climate, and the <br /> farming system. <br /> Class III - Soils in Class III have severe limitations that <br /> reduce the choice of plants or require special <br /> conservation practices, or both . <br /> Soils in Class III have more restrictions than those in <br /> Class II and when used for cultivated crops the conservation <br /> practices are usually more difficult to apply and to maintain . <br /> They may be used for cultivated crops, pasture, woodland , <br /> range, or wildlife food and cover . <br /> Limitations of soils in Class III restrict the amount <br /> of clean cultivation; timing of planting , tillage, and <br /> harvesting ; choice of crops; or some combination of these <br /> 38 -3- <br />
