Hoshiko Farms,Inc. Rezoning
Olney Fine Sandy Loam -0 to 1 Percent Slopes.
This is a deep well-drained soil on smooth plains at elevations of 4,600 to 5,200 feet. It formed in mixed
outwash deposits. Included in mapping are small areas of soils that have a dark surface layer and some
small-leveled areas.
Typically the surface layer of this Olney Soil is grayish brown sandy loam about 10 inches thick. The
subsoil is yellowish brown and very pale brown sandy clay lam about 15 inches thick. The substratum to
a depth of 60 inches is very pale brown, calcareous fine sandy loam.
Permeability and available water capacity are moderate. The effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more.
Surface runoff is slow and the erosion hazard is low.
This soil is used almost entirely for irrigated crops. It is suited to all crops commonly grown in the area,
including corn, sugar beets,beans,alfalfa, small grain,potatoes, and onions. An example of a suitable
cropping system is three or four years of alfalfa followed by corn,corn for silage, sugar beets, small
grain, or beans. Few conservation practices are needed to maintain top yields.
All methods of irrigation are suitable,but furrow irrigation is the most common.
Barnyard manure and commercial fertilizer are needed for top yields.
Windbreaks and environmental plantings are generally suited to this soil. Soil blowing,the principal
hazard in establishing trees and shrubs, can be controlled by cultivating only in the tree row and by
leaving a strip of vegetation between the rows. Supplemental irrigation may be needed at the time of
planting and during dry periods. Trees that are best suited and have good survival are Rocky Mountain
Juniper,Eastern Red cedar Ponderosa Pine, Siberian Elm,Russian olive, and Hackberry. The shrubs best
suited are Skunk bush, Sumac,Lilac, and Siberian Pea shrub.
Wildlife is an important secondary use of this soil. The cropland areas provide favorable habitat for Ring-
necked Pheasant and Morning Dove. Establishing areas for nesting and escape cover can attract many
non-game species. For pheasants, undisturbed nesting cover is essential and should be included in plans
for habitat development, especially in areas of intensive agriculture.
Rapid expansion of Greeley and surrounding area has resulted in urbanization of much of this Olney Soil.
This soil has good potential for urban and recreational development. The only limiting feature is the
moderately rapid permeability of the substratum,which causes a hazard of ground water contamination
from sewage lagoons. Lawns, shrubs and trees grow well.
Capability class I irrigated.
