Somewhat poorly drained to well drained alkaline bottomlandsoilsof high natural fertility.0–8% slopes. Most slopes are0–3%. Only a few soilsoccur on 3–5% slopes.This site is suited for forage production; however, there are some natural wetness limitations. When site hydrology has been altered with drainagesystems,foragespeciesmaybeestablished. Drainage system controlmustbe implemented and maintained as wet conditions will reduce forage growth production and limit the ability of livestock tograze. When the site is utilized for forage production, wetness conditions and/or flooding must be monitored to prevent loss of livestock or forage crop.Additionally, adjacent higher elevation areas or protected areas may be needed for the storage of harvested forage or holding of livestockwhen wet or flooded conditions occur.
