Slopes are dominantly 0 to 4 percent, but range up to 45 percent. Mean annual temperature ranges from 53 to 57 degrees F, and the mean annual precipitation ranges from 40 to 46 inches. These are the Alford , Alvin , Bloomfield , and Princeton soils. The well drained, more silty Alford soils are on similar landform positions. The well drained Alvin, and Princeton soils and the somewhat excessively drained, more sandy Bloomfield soils are on similar landform positions.
Permeability is moderate in the upper part of the solum and rapid in the lower part.
Runoff is slow to very rapid. Most nearly level and gently sloping areas are used for growing corn, soybeans, wheat, and hay. Most steep and very steep areas are used for woodland and wildlife habitat. Native vegetation is mixed, deciduous hardwood forest. The acreage is of small extent in MLRA 120.
