The western plateau region of broad mesas characterizes this area and
plateaus interspersed with numerous deep canyons and dry washes, steep
mesa breaks and canyon walls. Soils are gently sloping 7%. Field sizes
average 5 acres. Crops consist primarily of alfalfa and vegetable crops.

System Narrative Template:

This setting is in the southern part of Sandoval County; elevation
varies from 5000 to 6000 feet. Slopes average less than 5 percent but
may range to 10 percent. Soils vary from deep sandy loam to clay loam
and are susceptible to erosion when vegetation is depleted. Temperatures
range from 100 for a high in July to rarely below zero, with a frost
free season extending from mid May to mid September for a total of 120
days. The area is used principally as cropland, very limited livestock
grazing. The major crops grown are alfalfa, corn and chile. Irrigation
water is obtained from community acequia system, which diverts water
from the Jemez River. Wildlife consists primarily of mule deer and game
birds.

Planning Phase: BENCHMARK Planning Level: N/A NRCS Land Use: Pasture

System Narrative Template:

The setting is in the Ramah Valley south of Gallup. The land in the
Ramah Valley is used almost exclusively for irrigated pasture.
Occasionally annual crops are grown to prepare the fields for reseeding.
Most fields are long term irrigated pasture sown to introduced grasses.
Pastures are grazed in the fall and early spring and the grass is
harvested for hay in the summer. Fields are irrigated via the acequia
system, which consists of buried pipeline carrying water from Ramah
Lake.

System Narrative Template:

Through the use of the designated conservation practices: Crops are
better able to efficiently use available water. This allows for maximum
production. These practices combined with prescribed grazing allows for
grazing and hay production. Also the improved cover resulting from
proper irrigation reduces the amount of sediment leaving the fields and
entering Cebolla Creek and Pescado Lake. Also, reduces the amount of
soil lost to wind erosion. The improved hay production allow for
increased livestock weight gains and improves marketability of the
cattle; resulting in higher returns. This system addresses all
identified resource concerns.

Proper grazing use will improve productivity of the range. Fencing will
improve the livestock distribution. The combination of these practices,
along with livestock water facilities and erosion control practices will
ensure that the range continues to improve and eventually lead to
increased profitability and adequately address all the other resource
concerns.

The setting is in the Northwestern part of Sandavol County and the
Northeast part of McKinley County. Elevation varies from 6000 ft. to
8700 ft. Slopes range from 1 to 55%. Soils consist of a large variety
from deep loams to rock outcrops. Temperatures range from 100 in July to
-40 in January, with a frost free season of 120-140 days. The area is
used principally for livestock grazing with cattle, sheep, horses, and
goats as the main livestock and deer and elk the dominant wildlife.

This resource area consists of sandy and loamy soils with mesas,
mountains and hills. The range sites range from poor to fair condition
with big sagebrush as the dominant brush species. These are primarily
limited resource ranchers. Domestic animals consist of sheep, cattle,
and horses. Rainfall is approximately 8-9\"/year. Land status is a mix
of Federal, State, Tribal lands and Private lands.

July to -40 in January, with a frost free season of 120-140 days. The
area is used principally for livestock grazing with cattle, sheep,
horses, and goats as the main livestock and deer and elk the dominant
wildlife.

ranchers with supplemental income from occasional off farm employment.
Wildlife consists mainly of mule deer.

The resource setting is in the MLRA-036 (WP-2) and includes loamy,
clayey and bottomland range sites with a stable to upward trend, grazed
by cattle (cow/half), (Year long and seasonal). Elk and muledeer are the
wildlife of concern. Ranch sizes vary from a few to several pastures.
Blue grama, alkali sacaton, galleta, and wheatgrasses are the major
grass species. This MLRA covers Cibola County and portions of McKinley
and Sandovol counties.

System Narrative Template:

This MLRA lies in the southwest part of Sandavol County and Cibola
County. Elevation varies from 5000 to 7800 feet. Slopes range from 3% to
75%. Soils vary from deep loam to gravel and are susceptible to eroding
when vegetation is depleted. Temperatures range from 100 for the high in
July to a low of 23 below zero with a frost free season extending from
mid May to mid October for a total of 160 days. The area is principally
as rangeland with cattle and horses as domestic livestock with deer
being the principle wildlife. The resource setting includes hills,
breaks, loamy, and other upland sites in downward trends in poor to fair
range condition classes.

Fencing will allow controlled grazing as well as livestock exclusion.
Ponds will provide water to maximize range use. Well will provide water
by pipeline to areas unstable due to lack of water. The combination of
these practices will address livestock distribution problems and improve
wildlife upland habitat and address all identified resource concerns.

part of Cibola County. Rangeland is comprised of warm season native
grasses. Area is overgrazed by cattle and mixed herds of sheep and
goats. Water is scarce and development of water resources is of primary
concern for livestock producers. Resource needs are prescribed grazing,
fencing, water development, and erosion control. Deer are the dominant
wildlife in the area.
