The moisture control section is dry for 60 consecutive days and 90 cumulative days between July 15 and October 25 in most years. It typically has granular primary structure but has subangular blocky structure in some pedons. It is slightly acid through slightly alkaline. This horizon is typically light sandy clay loam, but clay ranges from 18 to 35 percent, silt from 5 to 30 percent, and sand from 40 to 75 percent with more than 35 percent fine or coarser sand. It is neutral or slightly alkaline.
