То get a more detailed of US land...

To get a more detailed picture of the US land, the latter can be divided into 4 groups according to its potential use.

Lands suitable for regular cultivation and other uses refer to the first group, which can be further divided into three subgroups.

The best quality soils of the first group have few or no conditions that limit their use. Such soils can be safely cultivated without special conservation treat­ment.

Soils of another subgroup have some natural condition that limits the kinds of plants they can produce or that requires some easily applied conservation practice when they are cultivated.

Soils of the last subgroup have more serious or more numerous limitations than those in the previous subgroups. The limitations may be natural ones - such as steep slope, sandy or shallow soil, or too little or too much water. Or the limi­tation may be erosion resulting from improper use of land. Thus, these soils are more restricted in the crops they can produce, or when cultivated, require con­servation practices more difficult to perform.
