Abstract | Information is presented on the suitability of soils in Sierre County, New Mexico for irrigation. The acreage, general location, and relative capability of the soils for use in irrigated agriculture are given. The general soil map provided the information necessary for the classification for irrigation. The data was organized and presented on the basis of soil associations shown on the general soil map and on the irrigation land classification map. Sierra County has about 2,700,200 acres, of which about 23 percent were considered suitable for irrigation. (Author) |
