SOIL MAP The Storie Index is a soil rating based on soil properties that govern a soil s potential for cultivated agriculture in California. The Storie Index assesses the productivity of a soil from the following four characteristics: Factor A, degree of soil profile development; factor B, texture of the surface layer; factor C, slope; and factor X, manageable features, including drainage, microrelief, fertility, acidity, erosion, and salt content. A score ranging from 0 to 100 is determined for each factor, and the scores are then multiplied together to derive an index rating. For simplification, Storie Index ratings have been combined into six grade classes as follows: Grade 1 (excellent), 81 to 100; grade 2 (good), 61 to 80; grade 3 (fair), 41 to 60; grade 4 (poor), 21 to 40; grade 5 (very poor), 11 to 20; and grade 6 (nonagricultural), 10 or less. The components listed for each map unit in the accompanying Summary by Map Unit table in Web Soil Survey or the Aggregation Report in Soil Data Viewer are determined by the aggregation method chosen. An aggregated rating class is shown for each map unit. The components listed for each map unit are only those that have the same rating class as the one shown for the map unit. The percent composition of each component in a particular map unit is given to help the user better understand the extent to which the rating applies to the map unit. 192 138 California Revised Storie Index (CA) Summary by Map Unit Kern County, California Map Unit Symbol Map Unit Name Rating Component Name (percent) Percent in AOI 243 138 Delano sandy loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes Grade 1 - Excellent Delano (85%) 4.6% 192 McFarland loam Grade 1 - Excellent McFarland (85%) 57.8% 243 Wasco sandy loam Grade 1 - Excellent Wasco (85%) 37.6% Totals for Area of Interest 100.0% Neither the Seller, nor makes any representations or warranties, either expressed or implied as to the accuracy or completeness of the enclosed.
