Near the type location, mean annual temperature is 56 degrees F. and mean annual precipitation is 49 inches. Reddies fine sandy loam on a 1 percent slope in a cultivated field. Solum thickness ranges from 20 to 39 inches. The coarse-loamy material above the C horizon averages less than 50 percent fine and coarser sand. Rock fragments, dominantly gravel size are in the A and B horizons of some pedons, but comprise less than 35 percent by volume.
Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to neutral.
Content of mica flakes is few to common. The A horizon has hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 2 or 3, and chroma of 2 or 3. It is loam, fine sandy loam, or sandy loam in the fine-earth fraction. In some pedons, there is a recently deposited thin layer of sandy overwash. The Bw horizon has hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 4 to 8.
