Veronica, unfortunately no soil monolith from Puerto Rico in our collection. About 28% of Puerto Rico is limestone landscape. We highlight a soil for you from #Cuba instead. It is from a sugar cane estate, developed on calcareous material. Hope you like it! #calcisol #Eutropept

The authors note that their work raises Q's which merit future study, including: Do NW KS producers vary crop acreage in response to changes in expected crop price? And, what is the actual irrig efficiency & precipitation effectiveness that contributes to maximizing profits?
