Site: The station is located in South Central
Oklahoma in the Reddish Prairies resource area with primary commodities being
hay production, cattle, and wheat. The alluvial soils of the South Central
Research Station consist primarily of the Dale and McClain soil series.
These soils are commonly found on flood plains and terraces of Oklahoma’s
east-west through-flowing rivers. These soils are among the very best
agricultural soils in the state and their favorable texture and structure
makes them well suited for irrigation. The average annual precipitation is
32.4 inches with an average summer high temperature of 95.1F and average
winter low temperature of 27.9F. The elevation of the station is 1085 feet
above sea level. |
