The alluvial soils of the South Central Research Station consist primarily of the Dale and McClain soil series.

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.
