Mean annual precipitation ranges from 28 to 32 inches. All of these soils are on similar landscape positions and are distinguished from the Pardeeville soils, principally on the development of the B horizon or thickness and color of the A horizon. A horizons and coarser-textured sola. Locke soils are on contiguous lower-lying sites or depressions where drainage is impeded. Wyocena soils have lighter-colored surface horizons and coarser textures within depths of 40 inches.
Surface runoff is medium and rapid.
Permeability is moderate in the solum and moderately rapid in the substratum. The steeper slopes are used for permanent pasture and woods. Native vegetation was mixed grass and forest vegetation. This soil is of small extent. Marquette County, Wisconsin, June, 1969.
