Bevel: Data is spatial – has area and can be located on the landscape. Data has basic attributes that vary across the landscape. Bevel: Soil landscapes influence land use, crop selection, and field size. This influence can be quantified and measured.

Soil Survey Data Can Help in the Assessment and Appraisal Processes
Bevel: Production capacity and potential can be measured and correlated to a soil landscape. Text Box: Soil Survey Attributes of Interest Yield Production Potential Productivity Indexes Forage Production Grazing Capacity—Animal Units Months Map-Unit Percent Composition

Useful Ways to Use Soil Survey
Bevel: A yield map is useful to track yield and production potentials of the farm. Bevel: A productivity map is useful in showing more productive areas of a farm. The darker the green, the more productive the landscape.
