Subject: Re: What soil types do you farm?


Upland remnants of Pennsylvanian era soils mainly....a few heavily leached old alluvial bottomland soils remain....both ~300 million yr old....classes III to VII.....moderately slow to very well drained...most acres very stoney. The ACOE covered most of the good alluvial farm ground in eastern OK with 'flood control impoundments'....50s and 60s vintage....perhaps necessary but unfortunate. I fish 2-20' above where me forefathers once ploughed, grazed, hayed, swam, hunted and fished.....interesting. Upstream of a flood problem is an infiltration problem, either due to the activity or inactivity of man, past and present.
