Tab E, Agricultural Outgrants/ Grazing
Agriculture
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) evaluated CCAFS in 1983 and reported that the soils are not suitable for agriculture. None of the ten different soil series would provide adequate natural fertility and would encounter severe to moderate seedling mortality. Additionally, due to rapid permeability, the water capacity is low throughout the layers. A USDA evaluation for MTA in 1984 indicated results similar to CCAFS. The types of soils found at MTA were unsuitable for any agricultural purposes. Organic matter and natural fertility was low, and only well drained and irrigated beds may be able to sustain citrus or vegetables.
This Tab is not integrated into 45th Space Wing (45 SW) natural resource management because agricultural outgrants, such as for livestock grazing, crop production, etc., are not sponsored by the 45 SW.
