Sassafras sandy loam, cultivated. Mainly for general crops, truck crops, pastures, fruits, woodland, and wide variety of nonfarm uses.
Native vegetation is mixed upland hardwoods, with some shortleaf and Virginia pine.
Existing laboratory data show the Sassafras series to include soils with a weighted average clay content in the argillic horizon that ranges from about 16 to 25 percent. Also, included are soils that have sand or loamy sand within 40 inches of the surface and border on a strongly contrasting family. The Sassafras series, however, is thought to be dominantly fine-loamy with a weighted average clay content of about 21 percent in the argillic horizon. In management and behavior, this series responds like a fine-loamy soil.
