The somewhat poorly drained Iona soils have profiles that are less gray. The very poorly drained Ragsdale soils have mollic epipedons and are in concave positions. The poorly drained Whitson soils have dominantly gray profiles and are in lower lying areas. Somewhat poorly drained. The potential for surface runoff is negligible.
Permeability is moderate.
The depth to the top of the seasonal high water table is 0.5 to 1.5 feet during the spring in most years. Most areas are cultivated. Corn, soybeans, wheat, and meadow are the main crops. A relatively small proportion is in permanent pasture or in woodland. In areas that are forested, oaks and maple are the most common tree species.
