Table B.--Land Capability and Yields per Acre of Crops and Pasture
(Yields in the "N" columns are for nonirrigated areas; those in the "I" columns are for irrigated
areas. Yields are those that can be expected under a high level of management. Absence of a
yield indicates that the soil is not suited to the crop or the crop generally is not grown on
the soil.)
