These are the Cantala and Couse series. Cantala and Couse soils are deeper than 100 cm to bedrock. Condon soils are on uplands at elevations of 330 to 1200 meters. Slopes are 0 to 40 percent. These soils formed in a loess mantle with an appreciable component of volcanic ash overlying basalt.
Summers are warm and dry and winters are cool and moist.
C. Mean annual temperature is 7 to 9 degrees C. Precipitation ranges from 250 to 380 cm. The frost-free period is 100 to 165 days. These are the Bakeoven, Lickskillet, Valby and Wrentham soils and the competing Cantala soils. All of these except Valby and Cantala soils contain more than 35 percent fragments. Also, Bakeoven and Lickskillet soils are less than 50 cm deep to bedrock.
