There are no prime farmland soils per se but there is soil 50c, a soil of statewide <br />importance noted on the map and in the PSCM Soil Survey. I wonder if it is correctly identified by the NRCS because it <br />occurs on the slopes below the sandstone outcrops and Grassy Creek and just does not look farmable. The rocks <br />would likely be large and extensive on this slope below the cliffs. Looking at the photos in this area it looks like it has <br />never had any agricultural activity save for grazing and does not appear to meet the criteria as defined by "prime <br />farmland". Your thoughts, and do we need a letter as opposed to an email to be the official response from NRCS? <br />Thanks, <br />Vern Pfannenstiel <br />From: Jazwick, Lori - Steamboat Springs, CO [mailto:Lori.Jazwick@co.usda.gov] <br />Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 12:24 PM <br />To: Pfannenstiel, Vernon R <br />Subject: Prime and Unique Farmland <br />?a?cw?8?;;<>S,r :?.:-::?? -.. >.;??_:r^?g?»`??eW?*c9?3v:?u.; ^•""?=:'?:;- :%84?-.; ??av?F?. . <br />Mr. Pfannanstiel, <br />According to USDA/NRCS records and our investigation, soil 50C - Lintim loam 3 to 12% slopes, is a prime <br />and unique soil for Routt County, Colorado.
