Soil type impacts what forages will grow in an area, stocking rates, fertilization considerations, and several other aspects important to managing cattle on pasture or range.
In most situations several different soil types will be found on a property. The USDA web soil survey is an online tool that allows producers to the determine the soil types on a property.
The area of interest feature can be used to select all or a portion of the property. A map can be created that shows each soil type, its characteristics, and the approximate number of acres of each soil type.
