CAPABILITY CROUPS OF SOILS
Capability classification is the grouping of soils to show, in a general way ,
their suitability for most kinds of farming. 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 0 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 (ome liaitations that reduce the choice of crops or require
a derate 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
posture , 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.
Claus VII - Hot 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 - Eroaion by wind or water is the major problem.
v - Excessive water such es wetness, overflow, or high water table.
o - 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.
Ecunples :
IIIe - Class III land where erosion is the major hazard.
IVc - Class IV land where the climate is the major problem.

STANDARD AND SPECIFICATION
CONSERVATION TILLAGE (Acre) 329
STANDARD
Definition
Any tillage and planting system that maintains at least 30 percent of the
soil surface covered by residue after planting to reduce soil erosion by
water; or where soil erosion by wind is the primary concern, maintains at
least 1000 pounds of flat small grain residue equivalent on the surface
during the critical erosion period.
Purpose
To reduce soil erosion by wind and water, help maintain or develop good soil
tilth and efficient moisture utilization, and provide food and cover for
wildlife.
Conditions where practice applies
On cropland and on other lands where vegetation is to be established or
reestablished.
Planning Considerations
Conservation tillage provides a production system that leaves crop residues
on the surface after planting. Crop residues are left standing as long as
possible prior to the succeeding crop to trap blowing snow and reduce soil
erosion by wind and water. Herbicides are used following harvest, prior to
and during planting, to control volunteer grain and other vegetation.
This practices is most effective when carried out in coniunction with other
practices such as strip cropping, terracing and contour farming.
One of the following conservation tillage systems should be used:
1. No—till or slot planting
The soil is left undisturbed prior to planting. Planting is completed
in a narrow seedbed approximately 1 to 3 inches wide. Weed control is
accomplished primarily with herbicides. Residue from the preceeding
crop is to be retained on the soil surface with the exception of that
buried by the drill.
__—_ (Page 1 of 5). Tcu AIR') ie__, i. ioc.
2. Ridge-till (includes no-till on ridges)
The soil is left undisturbed prior to planting. Approximately one-third
of the soil surface is tilled at planting with sweeps or row cleaners.
Planting is completed on ridges usually 4 to 6 inches higher than the
elevation between the rows. Weed control is accomplished with a
combination of herbicides and cultivation. Cultivation is used to
rebuild ridges.
3. Strip-till
The soil is left undisturbed prior to planting. Approximately one-third
of the soil surface is tilled at planting time. Tillage in the row may
consist of a rototiller, in-row chisel, row cleaners, etc. Weed control
is accomplished with a combination of herbicides and cultivation.
4. Mulch-till (includes stubble mulching)
The total soil surface is disturbed by tillage prior to planting.
Tillage tools such as chisels, field cultivators, discs, sweeps, or
blades are used. Weed control is accomplished with a combination of
herbicides and cultivation.
5. Reduced-till
Any other tillage and planting system not covered above that meets the
1000 lbs. flat small grain equivalent for wind erosion control or
30 percent ground cover for water erosion control.
6. Other Planning Considerations
a. Always start a Conservation Tillage Program with a deep chiseling
or subsoiling operation to eliminate tillage pans.
b. Do not operate tillage equipment at the same depth each year.
c. Do not till soil that is too wet or over 70 percent of field capa—
city to avoid excessive compaction.
d. Use herbicides for weed control in place of tillage when appro—
priate.
SPECIFICATIONS
A. To prevent erosion by water, a minimum of 30t of the soil surface will
be covered by residue after planting.
B. To prevent erosion by wind, maintain at least 1000 lbs of flat small
grain or its equivalent on the surface during the critical wind erosion
perod.
C. The goal should be to reduce soil loss by water and wind toward the loss
tolerance established for that soil. The Universal Soil Loss Equation
and/or the Wind Erosion evaluation will be used to arrive at the amount
of residue needed.

D. On cropping sequences where tillage operations are permitted:
1. Subsurface tillage equipment such as sweeps or rod weeders should be
used to keep the residue on the soil surface.
2. On soils that tend to crust, or have some slope, a chisel operation
across the alone may be needed 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 or Glean applied immediately
following fall sweep should control weeds until the next
planting season. An application of a burndown herbicide such
as Roundup or Paraquat may be necessary if moisture does not
become available to activate the residual herbicides.
b. Apply a combination of non-selective contact or non-residual
herbicides (such as Paraquat or Roundup) plus Atrazine, Banvel,
or Glean to kill existing weeds and for long-term weed control.
Keep summer tillage operations to those essential to control
weeds.
c. Contact herbicide such as Paraquat plus Bladex, Igran or other
short residual (45-60 days) may be used for spring application
to eliminate early spring and early summer tillage.
d. 2,4-D Butyl Ester plus Atrazine, Igran, or Bladex are economical
f "•' alternatives if approximately 90% of the fall weeds are broad—

E. For no-till cropping sequences:
1. Conventional tillage operations will not be used to control
volunteer crop growth or annual forbs and grasses.
a. Wheat-fallow (chemical only) - Use of chemicals to eliminate
tillage operations. The following is required.
1. Contact herbicides, such as Paraquat or Roundup, plus
Atrazine, Glean or other residuals and tank mixes such as
Atrazine-Bladex and Atrazine-Igran shall be applied

4. For more uniform application, large volume sprayers with wide stable

The wider swath should result in fewer overlaps or skips. Dust

Nozzle spacing should not be greater than 40 inches for uniform
distribution.
G. Specific chemical recommendations shall be in accordance with container

II. Annual Row Crop Systems
A. Strips of high residue producing crops will be grown in alternate strips with erosion susceptible crops. Strips will be approximately
perpendicular to the prevailing wind direction.
B. Width and spacing of protective strips:
1. Row Crop Plants - Minimum width of protective strips will be the
equivalent width of 4 rows spaced 40 inches apart. Spacing
between strips will not exceed 30 feet .
2. Drilled Plants - Minimum width of protective strips will be two
rows (12" - 20" spacing) and the spacing between strips will not
exceed 30 feet.
C. The protective crop will be harvested with a combine or mowed leaving
the stubble 12 to 18 inches tall. The protective residue will be
left on the soil surface through the critical wind erosion season
(Nov-May) or until the seedbed is prepared for the following crop
which is expected to occur in early April. Spring seedbed
preparation should result in a ridged surface for wind erosion
protection.
III. Perennial Tall Grass Barriers
A. Only tall growing species such as tall wheatgrass , switchgrass , big
bluestem, sand bluestem, Basin wildrye and Indiangrass will be
planted. Range site descriptions and Critical Area Planting
specifications will be used to determine specie adaptation.
B . Seedbed preparation will consist of only those operations necessary
to assure a firm soil condition relatively free of weeds. Planting
in residue from a previous crop is acceptable.
C. Colorado Agronomy Note No. 61 will be used to determine amounts of
seed to plant.
D. Barriers shall consist of at least two rows of grass spaced .10-40
inches apart as a minimum.
E. Optimum barrier spacing will be determined using the Guide for Wind
Erosion Control and will be designed as close to this optimum as
possible considering equipment widths .
F. Weed control will be practiced as needed to control competition until
grass is well established.
G. Barriers will be periodically mowed or clipped to a minimum height of
8-10 inches to encourage regrowth and prevent decadent stands 'from
developing.

Suei«.: Collateral for plowing''permits
We received the attached letter regarding Letter of Credit #631 for
Willard Soper. ''his is the collateral the County is holding in respect to
Mr. Soper's plowing permit.
Does the Board need to act on this matter, or should the Letter of Credit
be allow to expire? If it expires we will not have collateral on this
permit. One recourse appears to be to cash in the Letter of Credit prior
to the expiration.
Have you had a chance to discuss with the Board the whole issue of how
long to hold collateral on plowing permits? If they wish to hold
collateral indefinitely, we need to have some type of policy written up to
establish how these matters will be handled, and how we are going to be
sure the collateral stays current. Please let me know your thoughts on
this matter.
