System Narrative Template:

The setting is in the southern high plains. Soils range from loams to
fine sands on slopes from 1 to 10%. Rainfall averages 16\" with about
half occurring during the summer months. The major concerns for farmers
are wind erosion and the declining water table. The major crops grown
are peanuts, corn, grain sorghum, wheat, and alfalfa. Farms are medium
sized family owned units.

The setting is southern high plains. Topography is gently sloping,
ranging from 0-5%. Surface textures range from loams to loamy fine
sands. Rainfall averages 17 inches with half occurring during summer
months. The major environmental concern is soil erosion. Major crops
grown are wheat and milo. Livestock are an important enterprise, grazing
wheat and stalks in the winter. These are medium size farms.

System Narrative Template:

The setting is in the Southern High Plains. Topography is gently
sloping, ranging from 0-5%. Surface textures range from loams to loamy
fine sands. Rainfall averages 17 inches with approximately half
occurring during summer months. The major environmental concerns are
soil erosion. Major crops grown are wheat and milo. Livestock is an
important enterprise, grazing wheat and stalks in the winter. These are
medium size farms.

System Narrative Template:

The setting is in the southern high plains MLRA and is primarily located
in the northeast corner of Lea County. The soils consist of loamy and
fine sands highly susceptible to wind erosion. The precipitation
averages 15-16 inches annually. Crops grown consist primarily of small
grains and grain sphagnum. A high percent of the area is presently in
the Conservation Reserve Program and planted to weeping lovegrass.

The setting is in the southern high plains. Soils vary from loams to
loamy fine sands on slopes of 1-5%. Rainfall averages 16\" with over
half of the total occurring during the summer months. The major concern
for area farmers is wind erosion hazards. The cropping sequence
generally consists of high residue crops, with limited acreages of
cotton and sunflowers.

The setting is in the southern high plains MLRA and is primarily located
in the northeast corner of Lea County. The soils consist of loamy and
fine sands highly susceptible to wind erosion. The precipitation
averages 15-16 inches annually. Crops grown consist primarily of small
grains and grain sorghum. A high percent of the area is presently in CRP
and planted to weeping lovegrass.

The setting is in the Southern High Plains. Topography is gently
sloping, ranging, from 0-5%. Soil surface textures range from loam to
loamy fine sands. Range sites are fair to good condition with a stable
to slightly upward trend. Precipitation averages 17 inches per year.
These are primarily cattle ranches. Yearling operations are popular with
farm/ranch operations.

Management practices will improve rangeland productivity. Fencing and
livestock watering system will improve livestock distribution. Brush
management will reduce competitive vegetation and eventually will induce
increased forage production. These practices, when implemented, will
ensure that the range trend continues to improve. All resource concerns
are addressed.
