The potential for surface water runoff is high or very high. Permeability is moderate above the paleosol and slow within the paleosol. The depth to the top of an intermittent perched high water table is at 2 to 3 feet from December through April in most years. These soils are commonly used to grow corn and soybeans, hay or pasture. A few areas are in woodland.
Native vegetation is mixed hardwood forest.
Blocher soils are of small extent in MLRA 114. The typical pedon averages 13.8 percent in the .1 to 75 mm fraction size. Lab data on two other phases average 21 and 23 percent in the .1 to 75 mm fraction size. Hard bedrock substratum, soft bedrock, severely eroded and gullied phases are recognized. Clay films with a chroma of 2 or less are iron depleted redoximorphic features.
