Bw horizons are present in some pedons. lt has hue of lOYR or 7.SYR, value of 3 to 5, <br /> chroma of 2 to 4. It is loamy sand or loamy tine sand. <br /> The Bt part consists of one or more thin (less than 3 inches thick) of irregular <br /> discontinuous or continuous lamellae or bands that begin at depths ranging from 10 to 60 <br /> inches. They have hue of 7.SYR or lOYR, value of 3 to 6, chroma of 2 to 4. It is loamy <br /> sand, loamy fine sand, with thin bands of sandy loam in some pedons. It is moderately <br /> acid to neutral. <br /> The C horizon has hue of 1 OYR or 2.SY, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 2 to 4. It is sand, <br /> coarse sand, and, or mixed with dispersed shale f'ragments in variable amounts. It is <br /> slightly acid to slightly alkaline. <br /> COMPETING SERIES: There are no other series in this family. <br /> GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: These soils are nearly level to moderately steep with <br /> convex slope on stream terraces and outwash plains. Slopes range from 1 to 18 percent. <br /> These sediments are of Late Wisconsin age. Elevation ranges from 900 to 1000 feet <br /> above sea level. The mean annual air temperature ranges from 43 to 48 degrees F.. The <br /> mean annual precipitation ranges from 26 to 32 inches. Frost-free days range from 124 to <br /> 165. <br /> GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are the An��us Suckercrcek(P), <br /> Coml�rev, Dicl:inson, Dickman, f;sther��illr, f lawick, I tavclucl: Klossner, I,itchGeld, <br /> Malardi (T), Musi<c�.;o, and S�} �lrta soils. The well drained Angus soils are in similar <br /> positions, but formed in formed in glacial till. The Suckercreek(P) soils are on lower <br /> lyinb flood plains. The poorly drained Cohocatah, Comfrey, and Havelock soils are in <br /> nearly level areas or slight depressions. The moderately well drained Litchfield soils are <br /> in lower positions. The well drained Dickinson soils, somewhat excessiveLy drained <br /> Dickman, and excessively drained Hawick, and Sparta soils do not have argillic horizons <br /> and are on similar landscapes. <br /> DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Excessively drained. Runoff is negligible to <br /> low. Permeability is rapid. <br /> USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas of this soil are cultivated. The principal crops <br /> are corn, soybeans, small grain, and hay. Some areas are in pasture and woodland. Native <br /> vegetation was tall grass prairie and mixed deciduous hardwood forest-mostly oaks. <br /> DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: South central Minnesota. This series is not <br /> extensive. <br /> MLRA OFFICE RESPONSIBLE: St. Paul, Minnesota <br /> SERIES ESTABLISHED: Wright County, Minnesota, 1998. <br /> REMARKS: This soil was previously correlated as Rasset. However, this soil did not fit <br /> the proper classification of what is presently called Rasset. Also, most of the lamellae, <br /> identified previously as sandy loam and sandy clay loam, is now loamy sand or loamy <br />
