The frost-free period ranges from 120 to 180 days. The well drained Bernardston , poorly drained Stissing , and very poorly drained Mansfield soils are associated in a drainage sequence. The excessively drained Quonset and the somewhat excessively drained Warwick soils are on nearby outwash plains, terraces, eskers, and kames. The well drained Dutchess soils, which do not have a dense substratum, the shallow to bedrock Nassau and Kearsarge soils and the moderately deep to bedrock Cardigan soils are closely associated on the uplands. Moderately well drained.
Surface runoff is medium.
Permeability is moderate in the solum and slow in the substratum. Cleared areas are used for growing hay and pasture in support of dairy farming.
