The Budd series consists of very deep, somewhat poorly drained soils formed in loamy outwash overlying loamy till on till plains. Permeability is moderately rapid in the outwash material and slow in the underlying glacial till. Slopes range from 0 to 1 percent. The depth to the base of the argillic ranges from 25 to 50 inches and depth to free carbonates ranges from 35 to 58 inches. The depth to loam or fine sandy loam till ranges from 40 to 70 inches.
Reaction ranges from neutral to strongly acid.
Rock fragments range from 0 to 20 percent by volume throughout the throughout the particle-size control section. The Ap horizon has hue of 7.5YR or 10YR, value of 2 or 3, and chroma of 1 to 3. It is sandy loam, fine sandy loam, loamy fine sand, or loamy sand, and less commonly loam. The E horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 5 or 6, and chroma of 2 to 4. It is sandy loam, fine sandy loam, loamy fine sand, or loamy sand, and less commonly loam.
