Somewhat poorly drained. Surface runoff potential is negligible to medium. Permeability is moderate in the solum and moderately slow or slow in the substratum. Depth to perched seasonal high water table is .5 to 1.5 feet. Reesville soils are cultivated.
Principal crops are corn, soybeans, wheat, grasses and legumes.
The series is of moderate extent in MLRA 111. Fayette and Union Counties, Indiana, 1958. Reesville soils were previously classified as Aeric Epiaqualfs. Field investigations, including transects, determined that redoximorphic depletions with chroma of 2 or less contribute to less than 50 percent of total color for the upper portion of the argillic. Laboratory characterization data are available for two profiles sampled in Greene County, Ohio.
