Kokomo soils are very poorly drained. The potential for surface runoff is negligible. Permeability is moderately slow or slow in the loamy material and slow in the underlying till. An intermittent apparent high water table is at 1.0 foot above the surface to 0.5 foot below the surface during the winter and spring in most years. Most areas are used to grow corn, soybeans, oats, wheat, and hay.
Some areas are in permanent pasture or woodland.
Native vegetation is deciduous hardwood forest of elm, maple, and ash. The series is of moderate extent. Cass County, Indiana, 1952.
