Official State Soil: Harney
October 26th

The famous fertility of Harney soils is due partly to prairie grasses that are native to these soils. Over hundreds of years, the deep, fibrous roots of prairie grasses added organic matter to the soils, producing a thick, fertile, dark surface layer. Today, Harney soils are used to grow wheat, grain sorghum, and silage.
