Downs soils are on similar positions. Franklin soils are somewhat poorly drained and are on slightly convex or slightly concave positions higher in the landscape. Tama soils are on higher elevations and formed entirely in loess. Moderately well drained - seasonal high saturation occurs within depths of 4.0 to 5.0 feet during April to June in most years and is considered apparent. Runoff is medium or rapid.
Permeability is moderate.
Soils are cultivated. Corn, soybeans, small grains, and hay are principal crops. Native vegetation is deciduous trees and tall prairie grasses. Cation exchange activity class is inferred from lab data from similar soils in the surrounding area. Taxonomic version - Second edition, 1999.
