The soil quality does appear fairly consistent over most of the property with better softer country to the south where is little or no melonholes. There are no contour banks.
The grazing country has been pulled and raked and has recently had a light regrowth pulling to maintain belah suckers. Most of this country could be easily developed to cultivation with some leveling and raking.
