9,11 , 14 Cont'd irrigated cropland fields.
& 28 When grass for sod is seeded in early spring or
late fall it is seeded with oats as a cover crop.
The cover crop will be millett when the grass is
seeded in July or August.
Field 12 which is non-irrigated cropland will be
in continuous alfalfa. When the stand becomes
depleted it will be plowed in early June. It will
be seeded to millett and harvested for forage
leaving a stubble of about 8". Alfalfa will be
fall seeded (after Nov. 1 ) into the millett • stubble{

5,6,7,8, & harvested it will be harrowed to let grass come
9,11 , 14 Cont 'd back from roots or seeded to grass for sod. When
& 28 the alfalfa is depleted in fields 2 & 4 they will
be plowed, harrowed and packed then seeded to
grass for sod. Occasionally fields will be plowed
and seeded to grain for one year before being seed
ed back to grass for sod or alfalfa for hay.

These systems will be in place and working before
this land is plowed out of grass. Field number 8
is presently flood irrigated and future plans are

7,9, & 28 520 at. 1985 LAND SMOOTHING: Plans are. to smooth these fields
& to allow for a wheel move sprinkler system to move
Cont 'd easily over the land surface. Soil will be re-
moved from the ridge tops and used to fill the
vallies.
5 267 ac. 1985 LAND LEVELING: Plans are to level field 5 and to

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 8 broad Capability Classes and letters
follow the class numeral to indicate the principal problem or hazard. CI
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, eater supply or esthetic purposes.
e - Erosion by wind or eater is the major problem.
✓ - Excessive water such as wetness , overflow, or high eater table.
s - 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.
Examples:
IIIe - Class III land where erosion is the major hazard.
IVc — Class IV land where the climate is the major problem.
