The well drained Hickory soils are downslope from these soils and they do not have 5 percent or more exchangeable sodium in the subsoil. Somewhat poorly drained. Permeability is moderately slow in the upper part of the soil, and slow in the horizons that contain 5 percent or more exchangeable sodium. In drained areas, depth to an intermittent perched high water table is 0.5 foot to 2.0 feet from December to April in most years. These soils are used for row crops, hayland, pasture, or woodland.
Native vegetation is mixed deciduous trees.
Bond County, Illinois, 1981. Aquic conditions - periodic episaturation and reduction indicated by redoximorphic features throughout the soil. Available laboratory data shows that these soils contain less than 15 percent exchangeable sodium in the subsoil, or that the sodium is too deep in the solum to meet the requirements of a natric horizon. A clay ratio of 1.2 or greater, but most do not because of accelerated erosion. The texture and color of the soil varies over a wide range in these soils depending upon the amount of truncation and erosion.
