Description: The map shows areas where soils have been identified as Important Farmland Soils, based on their physical, biological, and chemical characteristics. The land may or may not be used for agricultural purposes; in fact many of the areas with Important Farmland Soils have already been converted into residential and commercial development or other non-agricultural uses. Prime Farmland (& Prime Farmland If Irrigated)—From a national perspective, these lands are of the highest quality and the most suitable for producing food, forage, fiber, and/or oilseed crops. They tend to be level (with slopes of 0-6%), have few rocks, are permeable to air and water, have an adequate growing season, and do not erode easily. Prime farmlands must receive a good supply of moisture, which must generally be provided through irrigation in Missoula County. Farmland of Statewide Importance—State agencies define and identify these soils as being important from a statewide perspective. This designation is similar to Prime Farmlands, but has slightly less stringent criteria. Soils may have higher pH or salt content, more rock fragments, or lower water holding capacity. They may be slightly more erodible, but can be highly productive and produce high crop yields when properly managed. Farmland of Local Importance—At the request of local farmers, the Missoula Conservation District identified important soils from a county-wide perspective. These soils must have at least half of the components used in assessing prime and statewide soils, and meet other minimal requirements for slope (<15%), drainage, and crop production (for spring wheat, hay, and pasture).
