Obey soils are similar to the Fort Collins and Vona soils and are near the Kim, Nelson, Otero, and Thedalund soils. Fort Collins soils are less than 35 percent fine and coarser sand in the B horizon. Vona soils are less than 18 percent clay in the B horizon. Nelson and Thedalund soils have sandstone and shale between 20 and 40 inches.

Thickness of the solum ranges from 17 to 30 inches. Coarse fragments make up as much as 15 percent of the solum. Depth to free carbonates ranges from 10 to 24 inches. The A horizon has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 5 or 6 dry and 3 to 5 moist, and chroma of 2 or 3. It is fine sandy loam or loamy sand. The 32t horizon is commonly sandy clay loam but clay content ranges from 13 to 30 percent. Valent series The Valent series consists of deep, excessively drained soils that formed in eolian deposits. Valent soils are on plains. Slopes are 0 to 9 percent. Valent soils are near the Loup, Boel, Osgood, and Vona soils. Loup and Boel soils are poorly drained. Osgood and Vona soils have a B horizon. Typical pedon of Valent sand, 0 to 3 percent slopes, 2,220 feet north and 132 feet west of southeast corner sec. 8, T. 4 N., R. 62 W.

Closely spaced contour ditches or sprinkers can be used in irrigating close grown crops. Contour furrows or sprin- klers should be used for new crops. Applications of bar- nyard manure and commercial fertilizer help to maintain good production. The potential vegetation is dominated by sand bluestem, sand reedgrass, switchgrass, sideoats grama, needleandthread, little bluestem, and blue grama. Poten- tial production ranges from 2,500 pounds per acre in favorable years to 1,800 pounds in unfavorable years. As range condition deteriorates, the sand bluestem, switchgrass, sand reedgrass, sideoats grama, and little bluestem decrease, forage production drops, and sand sage increases. Undesirable weeds and annuals invade and "blowout" conditions can occur as range condition becomes poorer. Management of vegetation on this soil should be based on taking half and leaving half of the total annual produc- tion. Seeding is desirable if the range is in poor condition. Sand bluestem, sand reedgrass, indiangrass, switchgrass, sideoats grama, little bluestem, and blue grama are suita- ble for seeding. Because this soil is susceptible to soil blowing, it should be seeded using an interseeder, or the seed should be drilled into a firm, clean sorghum stubble. Seeding early in spring has proven most successful. Brush management also can help in improving deteriorated range. Windbreaks and environmental plantings are fairly well suited to this soil. Blowing sand and the moderate availa- ble water capacity are the principal hazards in establish- ing trees and shrubs. The soil is so loose that trees should be planted in shallow furrows, maintaining vegetation between the rows. Supplemental irrigation is needed to insure survival. Trees that are best suited and have good survival are Rocky Mountain juniper, eastern redcedar, ponderosa pine, and Siberian elm. The shrubs best suited are skunkbush sumac, lilac, and Siberian peashrub. 970391 70—Valent sand, 3 to 9 percent slopes.

Seeding early in spring has proven most successful. Brush management can also help in improving deteriorated range. Windbreaks and environmental plantings are generally not suited to this soil. Onsite investigation is needed to determine if plantings are feasible. Wildlife is an important secondary use of this soil.
