Elliott and Martinton soils are on similar positions and have more clay in the control section. Symerton soils are on slightly higher positions and are better drained. Somewhat poorly drained. These soils have a perched seasonal high water table at a depth of 1 to 2 feet at some time between January and May in most years. The potential for surface runoff is low.
Permeability is moderately slow.
Most areas of the soil are cultivated. Corn, soybeans, small grain, and meadow are the principal crops. A few areas are used for pasture. Native vegetation was tall prairie grasses. The concept of Andres series now includes silt loam glacial till with more than 22 percent clay in the 2C or 3C horizons.
