Capability subclass Ile beans, alfalfa, small grain, and onions. An example of a Irrigated; IVe nonirrigated;Sandy Plains range site. suitable cropping system is 9 to 4 years of alfalfa fol- lowed by corn,corn for silage,sugar beets,small grain,or beans. Land leveling, ditch lining, and installing pipelines are needed for proper water applications. All methods of irrigation am suitable, but furrow ir- rigation is the most common. Barnyard manure and com- mercial fertilizer are needed for top yields. Windbreaks and environmental plantings are generally crated to this soil. Soil blowing, the principal hazard in establishing trees and shrubs, can be controlled by cul- tivating only in the tree row and by leaving a strip of vegetation between the rows. Supplemental irrigation may be necessary at the time of planting and during dry periods.Trees that are best suited and have good survival are Rocky Mountain juniper,eastern redcedar,ponderosa pine, Siberian elm, Russian-olive, and hackberry.
