The particle-size control section averages between 27 and 35 percent clay. Rock fragments are absent in the loess and range from 1 to 15 percent in the till. Rock fragments are of mixed lithology with very low content of shale and siltstone. The Ap or A horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 3 to 5, and chroma typically of 2 or 3 but includes chroma of 4 in eroded pedons that have subsoil material mixed into the Ap horizon. It is silt loam or silty clay loam.
Reaction is strongly acid to neutral.
An E horizon is present where it has not been mixed into the Ap horizon. A BE horizon is present in some pedons. The Bt or Btg horizon has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 3 or 4 in the upper part and 1 to 4 in the lower part. Redoxmorphic features have a hue of 10YR, 2.5Y or 7.5YR, value of 2 to 6, and chroma of 1 to 6. Texture is silty clay loam and averages between 27 to 35 percent clay.
