Holdrege (soil)

The Holdrege silt loam is the state soil of Nebraska since 1979.

Description

Holdrege silt loam covers 1.8 million acres of land in south-central Nebraska, under a grass landscape. Good drainage and moisture movement resulted in the downward movement of clay and lime. First described in 1917 in Phelps County, Nebraska, the soil has a significant role in corn, grain and soy farming. Formed in silty, calcareous loess, the soil ranges from 0 to 15 percent slope.[1][2]

gollark: Yes, hi.
gollark: I'm having an issue with the thread-local-heaps thing. I want to use https://github.com/dom96/prometheus in my application, but it uses global variables somewhere, probably unavoidably since separate metrics in each thread would not make very much sense. My application uses prologue and has multiple threads.
gollark: There's a pattern matching library? Very cool, I might use this.
