The minimum amount of crop residue left on the soil surface after planting shall be 1 ,500 pounds per acre of corn or sorghum residue, or 500 pounds per acre of flat small grain residue or its equivalent. C. Soil loss by water and wind shall be reduced to the loss tolerance established for that soil. The Universal Soil Loss Equation and the Wind Erosion formula can be used to arrive at the amount of residue necessary to keep the soil loss within limits.

On soils that tend to crust, or with some slope to them, a chisel type implement may need to be used after harvest to increase water infiltration and reduce soil loss due to runoff. 3. Chemicals may be used to aid in reducing or eliminating tillage operations. Use manufacturers labels or Colorado Weed Control Handbook for specific rate recommendations. The following options are recommended. a. Fall sweep (4 inches deep) plus Atrazine. Fall sweep immediately (within two weeks) after wheat harvest to kill existing vegetation. Atrazine applied immediately following fall sweep will kill volunteer wheat and weeds until the next summer. Limit summer tillage operations prior to planting. b. Apply a combination of non-selective contact or non-residual herbicides (such as Paraquat or Roundup) plus Atrazine to kill existing weeds and for long-term weed control.

(2) A slot or no-till planter or adequate grain drill shall be used that will disturb not more than 25 of the soil surface.

It is a practical classification based on limitations of the soils , the risk of damage when they are used , and the way they respond to treatment. The soils are classified according to degree and kind of permanent limitation, but without consideration of major and generally expensive landforming that would change the slope , depth, or other characteristics of the soils ; and without consideration of possible but unlikely major reclamation projects. Roman numerals are used to show the 8 broad Capability Classes and letters follow the class numeral to indicate the principal problem or hazard. Classes and sub-classes used are as follows : Class I - Few or no limitations that restrict choice of crops or require conservation measures . Class II - )Some limitations that reduce the choice of crops or require moderate conservation measures. Class III - Severe limitations that reduce choice of crops or require special conservation practices or both. Class IV - Very severe limitations that restrict the choice of crops , require very careful management , or both. Class V - Not suited for cultivation but has few or no hazards when used for pasture, range, woodland or wildlife. Class VI - Not suited for cultivation. Severe limitations . Suited for range , pasture, woodland or wildlife with careful management and needed conservation practices. Class VII - Not suited for cultivation. Very severe limitations . Suited for range, woodland or wildlife uses if carefully managed. Usually cannot apply physical practices such as pitting, furrowing, seeding, etc . Class VIII - Not suited for cultivation, range, pasture or woodland. Suited only for recreation, wildlife , water supply or esthetic purposes. e - Erosion by wind or water is the major problem. w - Excessive water such as wetness , overflow, or high water table. e - Major problem is in the soil. It may be too shallow, too heavy, stony , low in fertility, salty, alkaline or have low moisture capacity. c - Climate is the major hazard. Growing season may be very short , there is a shortage of rainfall or both. Rumples : IIIe - Class III land where erosion is the major hazard . IVc - Class IV land where the climate is the major nroblem.
