Book Description
Excerpt from Irrigation in Northern Colorado The Laurel sandy loam is an alluvial soil and occurs in a strip one-half to 1 mile wide in the river bottoms. It ranges in depth from 2 to 5 feet, and is dark brown to black in color. The soil be comes more sandy with depth, passing gradually into coarse sand and water-worn gravel. This soil is not very well drained and the water table is near the surface the greater part of the year. Only small areas, however, are affected by alkali. This soil is particularly well adapted to cabbages, onions, and sugar beets. The Fort Collins loam occurs in small areas north of Greeley and in the vicinity of Fort Collins. It consists of a reddish to a very dark brown light loam, from 4 inches to 1 foot in thickness, under lain by a layer of heavy loam from 1 to 4 feet in thickness. Below this layer of loam the subsoil grades again into a light loam extend ing to a depth of 6 feet or more. The soil is very sticky when wet and bakes badly. It is fairly well drained, is affected by alkali in small areas only, and is adapted to fruits, grain, potatoes, alfalfa, and sugar beets.

The Greater Plains
Author: Brian Frehner
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1496227077
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
The Greater Plains tells a new story of a region, stretching from the state of Texas to the province of Alberta, where the environments are as varied as the myriad ways people have inhabited them. These innovative essays document a complicated history of human interactions with a sometimes plentiful and sometimes foreboding landscape, from the Native Americans who first shaped the prairies with fire to twentieth-century oil regimes whose pipelines linked the region to the world. The Greater Plains moves beyond the narrative of ecological desperation that too often defines the region in scholarly works and in popular imagination. Using the lenses of grasses, animals, water, and energy, the contributors reveal tales of human adaptation through technologies ranging from the travois to bookkeeping systems and hybrid wheat. Transnational in its focus and interdisciplinary in its scholarship, The Greater Plains brings together leading historians, geographers, anthropologists, and archaeologists to chronicle a past rich with paradoxical successes and failures, conflicts and cooperation, but also continual adaptation to the challenging and ever-shifting environmental conditions of the North American heartland.
