Permeability is moderate in the loamy alluvium and rapid or very rapid in the sandy outwash. Most areas of Meridian soils are used for cropland. Common crops are corn, small grain, and hay. Some small areas remain in pastureland or woodland. A few small areas remain in native vegetation which is a mixture of deciduous trees and prairie grasses.
Meridian soils are of moderate extent.

However, it is suspected that the very low CEC in the sandy outwash results in drastic changes in base sat. These soils may classify as Ultic subgroup in their natural state.
