The Chequest soils are on nearby flood plains. They are poorly drained. The Clinton and Weller soils are also on somewhat higher positions of nearby loess mantled stream terraces. They contain less sand throughout and lack stratification in the lower part of the solum. Moderately well drained.
Surface runoff is medium to rapid.
Permeability is variable but generally moderate in the upper part of the solum and moderate to moderately rapid in the lower part. The depth to an intermittent apparent water table is 4 to 5 feet sometime from November through July in most years. Commonly used for growing cultivated crops, but some is used for pasture. Corn, soybeans, small grains, and hay are grown on the less sloping areas. Many steeper areas are left in pasture.
