Supplement to the Soil Survey of Clark County Area, Idaho, Parts of Clark and Butte Counties United States Department of Agriculture Supplement to the Soil Survey of Natural Clark County Area, Resources Conservation Service Idaho, Parts of Clark and Butte Counties National Cooperative Soil Survey This supplement is a publication of the National Cooperative Soil Survey, a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The supplement was made cooperatively by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management; the University of Idaho, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences; and the Clark County Conservation District. It accompanies the most current official data for the soil survey of Clark County Area, Idaho, Parts of Clark and Butte Counties, available at http:// websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov. Major fieldwork for the soil survey was completed in 2012. Unless otherwise indicated, statements in this publication refer to conditions in the survey area in 2018. The General Soil Map in this supplement may be copied without permission. Enlargement of the map, however, could cause misunderstanding of the detail of mapping. If enlarged, the map does not show the small areas of contrasting soils that could have been shown at a larger scale.

This supplement and the online soil survey data provide information that affects land use planning in this survey area. They are intended for many different users. Farmers, ranchers, foresters, and agronomists can use the information to evaluate the potential of the soil and the management needed for maximum food and fiber production. The information can be used by planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers to plan land use, select sites for construction, and identify special practices needed to ensure proper performance. It can also be used by conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, wildlife management, waste disposal, and pollution control to help them understand, protect, and enhance the environment. v Supplement to the Soil Survey of Clark County Area, Idaho, Parts of Clark and Butte Counties This document was developed to supplement the soil survey of Clark County Area, Idaho, Parts of Clark and Butte Counties. The data and maps for the survey were published previously for the Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO) and are available through the Web Soil Survey online application (http://websoilsurvey.nrcs. usda.gov). This document provides information not available in Web Soil Survey. It contains information about the physiography, geology, relief, and formation of the soils in the survey area and about the rangeland, woodland, and wildlife habitat in the area. With the completion of this soil survey, continuous soil mapping coverage of eastern Idaho is now available. This survey joins the soil surveys of Fremont County, Idaho, Western Part; Jefferson County, Idaho; Butte County Area, Idaho, Parts of Butte and Bingham Counties; Custer-Lemhi Area, Idaho, Parts of Blaine, Custer, and Lemhi Counties; and Targhee National Forest, Idaho and Wyoming. Location of Clark County Area, Idaho, Parts of Clark and Butte Counties.

  • Crop Profile for Wheat in Idaho
    Crop Profile for Wheat in Idaho Prepared February 7, 2000 General Production Information ● In 1998, Idaho ranked ninth in U.S. production of all wheat, eighth in winter wheat production, and fifth in all other spring wheat production. ● Wheat ranked fourth in Idaho's total cash receipts from farm markets. ● Idaho wheat ranked third in the U.S. in yield per acre. ● Cash receipts from Idaho wheat were estimated at $271,000,000 with an export value of $213,000,000. ● Idaho produced 102,000,000 bushels of wheat on 1,500,000 harvested acres. ● Production costs averaged $210 per acre in northern Idaho and $220 per acre in southern Idaho. ● Idaho all-wheat production regions: ❍ Northern Idaho - 410,000 harvested acres. ❍ Eastern Idaho - 689,000 harvested acres. ❍ Southcentral Idaho - 284,000 harvested acres. ❍ Southwestern Idaho - 117,000 harvested acres. Cultural Practices Soft white winter and soft white spring wheat are the predominant small grains grown in Idaho, and comprise about 80% of Idaho's total wheat production. Hard red spring (12%) and hard red winter wheat (12%) account for the remaining small grain crops. Exports are the single most important market for The Crop Profile/PMSP database, including this document, is supported by USDA NIFA. Idaho and Pacific Northwest soft white wheat. A small percentage is used domestically for seed, pastry flour and oriental noodles. Soft white wheat has a soft texture and low protein content. These traits make it undesirable for bread flour but desirable for pastries and other baked goods. Thus, Idaho=s soft white wheat has a separate export market relative to the red wheats.
