Birchwood and Scituate soils are similar inclusions. Poorly drained Mattapoisett and Norwell soils are along drainageways. Well drained Canton, Montauk and Merrimac soils are on convex slopes. Map units 426A and 426B are prime farmland soils. 427A and 427B are important agricultural map units.
Irrigation is needed for optimal yield.
The seasonal high water table may delay some practices during the spring and limit root growth. Well suited for woodland productivity. Major limitations related to the seasonal high watertable. Mounded septic systems are usually required. Newfields soils are mapped in ice contact areas and the substratum may consist of variable types of geologic sediments.
