The potential for surface water runoff is low or medium. Permeability is moderate in the solum, and moderate to rapid in the substratum. In drained areas, depth to an intermittent apparent high water table is at 0.5 to 2 feet from December through April in most years. In undrained areas, depth to an intermittent apparent high water table is at 0.5 to 1.5 feet from November through May in most years. Most areas of these soils are used to grow corn, soybeans, small grain, and hay.
Native vegetation is dominantly deciduous hardwood forest.
The series is of moderate extent mainly in MLRA's 114 and 115, and of lesser extent in MLRA 111. Pike County, Indiana, 1930. Loamy substratum and sandy substratum phases are recognized, and may become new series as subset soil surveys with these phases are updated.
