Mean annual temperature ranges from 38 to 46 degrees F., mean annual precipitation ranges from 30 to 48 inches, and mean annual frost-free days ranges from 90 to 160 days. Elevation ranges from 5 feet to 2000 feet above sea level. These are the Adams , Becket , Constable , Duane , Hermon and Worth soils. Adams soils are on nearby sand plains. Becket, Hermon, and Worth soils formed in glacial till and are on nearby uplands.
Constable soils are common associates where ortstein layers are prominent.
Duane soils are moderately well drained and on lower, nearby landscapes. Runoff is slow. Permeability is rapid or very rapid in the solum and very rapid in the substratum. Large areas are idle and support seedling birch and pine, bracken fern, and blueberries. Farmed areas are used mainly for grass hay or pasture with some corn and oats.
