Permeability is moderate in the upper loamy material and moderately rapid in the underlying material. The rarely flooded phase is subject to flooding from late fall to spring. The potential for surface runoff is negligible to low. Nearly all areas are drained, cultivated, and used for cropland. Principal crops are corn, soybeans, oats, wheat, alfalfa, tomatoes, and sugar beets.
Native vegetation is deciduous swamp forest.
Paulding County, Ohio, 1957. With this OSD revision, the type location for Millgrove soils is transferred to Morrow County, Ohio. Lake plain physiography has been removed from the series setting. Till and lacustrine substratum phases and a rarely flooded phase are recognized. These phases will need to be evaluated as potential new soils during future MLRA update projects.
