Soils and Some Related Agricultural Aspects of Mid Hawke’s Bay

SOILS & SOME RELATED AGRICULTURAL ASPECTS OF MID HAWKE’S BAY

FOREWORD.

The more recent outlook on soil survey work links soil information with agricultural usage both existing and potential. The manner of approach in this bulletin is consistent with this treatment, and some of the material presented is therefore set out in considerably greater detail than has been the case with previous Soil Survey bulletins. The soil types have been linked with the important soil-forming factors such as climate, topography, parent material, etc., and optimum utilization of the land described.

It is hoped that the bulletin will be of use to the farming community, particularly returned servicemen who are planning their rehabilitation on land in the district.

The long delay in publication is regretted, but wartime and post-war difficulties in the printing trade have prevented earlier action.

E. MARSDEN, Secretary, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research.
