The thickness of the loess or loamy sediment ranges from 12 to 24 inches. The upper sediment typically lacks coarse fragments, but the lower part in some pedons has a few percent. The glacial till has 2 to 8 percent coarse fragments of mixed lithology. A thin stone line commonly is at the contact of the two materials. The Ap horizon has a value of 4 or 5 and a chroma of 1 or 2.
Reaction ranges from neutral through medium acid.
Uncultivated areas have an A horizon from 1 to 5 inches in thickness. It has a value of 2 or 3 and a chroma of 1 or 2. The E horizon has a value of 4 through 6 and chroma of 2 or 3. It is slightly acid or medium acid. Some pedons have Bt horizons in the upper mantle with textures of silt loam or silty clay loam.
