c � �� <br /> Bw horizons are present in some pedons. It has hue of lOYR or 7.SYR,value of 3 to 5, <br /> chroma of 2 to 4. It is loamy sand or loamy fine 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 lOYR 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 fragments in variable amounts. It is <br /> slightly acid to slightly alkaline. <br /> COMPETING 5ERIES: 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 :1n�,ti� Sucl;el-c�•eel: (P), <br /> r'o•r»fre�, nickir�>o��, Dici:man, csrher�-ill::, }-la�,�ick, Fla�elock Kli��sner, Litchti�(d, <br /> ti9alardi (T),ti�lusl:e��o, and S�rta 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 /> , lying 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 /> vegeta.tion was tall grass prairie and mixed deciduous hardwood f�rest-mostly oaks. <br /> DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: South central Minnesota.This series is not <br /> � extensive. <br /> MLRA OFF'ICE 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 />
