A perched water table is 0.5 to 1.5 feet below the surface from November to April of most years. Permeability is moderate in the loamy material and slow or very slow in the underlying till. The potential for surface runoff is low to high. A large proportion is under cultivation, primarily corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, and hay. Some areas are used for tomatoes and sugar beets.

The Haskins soils occur in MLRA's 99 and 111 in northwestern Ohio and northern Indiana. The series is of large extent, with about 200,000 acres. Paulding County, Ohio, 1957. The previous Haskins series concept allowed for fine-textured lacustrine sediments in the 2B and 2Cd horizons. A new series will be established during modernization projects in MLRA 99 to define these soils.
