[QUOTE="fargus, post: 732674, member: 13480"] We have clay loam and silty-clay loam. About 6-12" of good topsoil, over a calcareous clay subsoil. Not a lot of stones. For growing grass it is tough to beat, but water infiltration can be a challenge. The guys that try to crop it have to be really patient, it doesn't dry out fast in the spring. This ground will hang in there a long time before grass turns brown and goes completely dormant in the summer. Natural drainage is variable, and dependent on surface drainage to some extent, so we get a pretty healthy mix of species in our long-term pastures. My only real complaint is the cows will pug it up bad if you rush them on it in the spring. [/QUOTE]
