These are the Cantala and Couse series. Cantala and Couse soils are deeper than 40 inches to bedrock. Condon soils are on uplands at elevations of 1100 to 4000 feet. Slopes are 0 to 40 percent. These soils formed in a loess mantle with an appreciable component of volcanic ash overlying basalt.
Summers are warm and dry and winters are cool and moist.
F. Mean annual temperature is 45 to 52 degrees F. Precipitation ranges from 10 to 15 inches. The frost-free period is 100 to 165 days. These are the Bakeoven , Lickskillet , Valby and Wrentham soils and the competing Cantala soils. All of these except Valby and Cantala soils contain more than 35 percent fragments coarser than 2 mm. Also, Bakeoven and Lickskillet soils are less than 20 inches deep to bedrock.
