The eastern side of Texas is the black gumbo soil that has a lot of clay in it. The western half is much more sandy. The black gumbo is very hard to dig in, but it is nutrient rich and the high clay content prevents stock tanks from leaking. Speaking of water, Texas only has one naturally occurring lake at Caddo Mill. The remainder that number about 200, are all man-made. * * *

bob, Not to be disrespectful, partner, but you ain't spent much time around Texas. Man, we got a piney forest that is full of hillbilly types, that still go around bare foot, and them women are all pregnant. We got pastures of rich loamy soil, that black gumbo we been talkin about, sand in the west, as Josh pointed out, and rocks that grow a new crop out of the ground ever year. Up around the panhandle in the winter, there ain't nothing between Amarillo, and the North Pole but a barb wire fence. The tumble weeds are faster than jack rabbits, and the armadillos can jump six foot high, straight up. Now, you have just had a very small dose of Texas BS. :^)))
