SOIL SURVEY OF THE OCALA AREA, FLORIDA. 25 I 
The climatic conditions in the area are such that the growing 
season is very long, some hardy crops being grown during the 
winter, with protection at times from frost. A succession of crops 
amounting to a rotation is thus permitted. Corn or cowpeas follow 
the trucking crops. After'corn the volunteer growth of crab grass, 
crowfoot grass, sandspur, or beggarweed follow and are cut for hay. 
Development of the agricultural resources of the area can be said 
hardly to have been begun. There is opportunity for profitable 
agriculture along all the lines discussed in this report.
