The Weikert series consist of shallow, well drained soils formed in material that weathered from interbedded gray and brown acid shale, siltstone, and fine-grained sandstone on gently sloping to very steep areas on uplands. Slope ranges from 0 to 90 percent.
Permeability is moderately rapid.
Weikert channery silt loam, in a cultivated field on 8 to 15 percent slopes. Depth to bedrock ranges from 10 to 20 inches. Rock fragments range from 5 to 50 percent in the A or Ap horizon, from 35 to 60 percent in the Bw horizon, and from 60 to 85 percent in the C horizon. The sand fraction and rock fragments have a low content of feldspars, hydrobiotite, and chlorite. Unlimed reaction ranges from moderately acid to very strongly acid in the A or Ap horizon and moderately acid to extremely acid in the Bw and C horizons.
