The Ap horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 3 or 4, and chroma of 2 or 3. Noncultivated areas have A1 horizons 1 to 6 inches thick with colors similar to those stated for the Ap horizon. The A horizon typically is fine sand or loamy fine sandy but some pedons are fine sandy loam. The C horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 2 or 3. Abscota soils contain less than 10 percent silt plus clay and have less fine and very fine sand.
Chute soils lack stratification within the control section.
Hodge soils are on undulating flood plains. Slope gradients dominantly are less than 2 percent but range to 5 percent in some pedons. Hodge soils formed in sandy alluvium. The mean annual temperature varies from 52 to 57 degrees F, and mean annual precipitation varies from 35 to 44 inches. These are the Aholt, Albaton, Bosworth, Gilliam, Haynie, Kenmoor, Leta, Modale, Sarpy, Waldron, and Waubonsie soils.
