The Bedington series consists of very deep, well drained soils. Bedington soils formed in residuum from dark brown, gray and olive acid, sedimentary, siltstone and shale, with some sandstone interbeds. They are on nearly level to steep convex uplands and on the sideslopes of hills and ridges.
Permeability is moderate.
Mean annual precipitation is 42 inches. Bedington channery silt loam, on 3 to 8 percent slope in a cultivated field. Solum thickness ranges from 40 to 70 inches. Depth to bedrock is 5 to 15 feet. It is generally fractured to the extent that it can be excavated with a backhoe or trencher.
