Greater than 65 inches. Sudbury soils are similar inclusions. Poorly drained Wareham and Pipestone soils are on lower elevations and along drainageways. Well drained Plymouth, Windsor, Merrimac and Hinckley soils are on higher elevations. Deerfield soils are important farmland soils in Massachusetts.
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. Deerfield soils are associated with aquifer recharge areas and measures should be taken to protect the aquifer.
