These are the Nappanee , Mortimer, and St. Clair soils. The somewhat poorly drained Nappanee soils and the moderately well drained Mortimer and St. Clair soils are in a catena with Hoytville soils. They are on slight rises, and on back slopes and shoulders of nearby knolls and ridges. Very poorly drained. A perched water table is at 1 foot above to 1 foot below the surface from January to April in most years.
Permeability is moderately slow in the substratum.
Runoff potential is negligible or very low. Nearly all of the Hoytville soils are cultivated. Corn, soybeans and wheat are the principal crops. Some areas are used for specialty crops, such as tomatoes and sugar beets. A relatively small proportion is in woodland.
