In addition to the competing Emporia , and Suffolk soils, these are the Atlee , Bourne , Caroline , Norfolk , Orangeburg , Rumford , Slagle , and Uchee soils. These soils are all on similar adjacent landscape positions as the Kempsville soils. Atlee and Slagle soils have low chroma iron depletions at less than 50 inches. Bourne soils have a fragipan and are on slightly lower side slopes. Most of the Kempsville soils are used for growing corn, soybeans, small grain, hay, and tobacco.
Wooded areas are in loblolly pine, Virginia pine, oaks, hickory, yellow- poplar and sweetgum.
