The agronomists say there are
many different soils found 4 the
.hree main soil regions of 4rgina
the coastal plain. Piedmont md
Blue Ridge, and west of the Blue
Ridge
There are many places in the
state where crops are grown on
ll-adapted soils. For instance, in
he coastal plain there are some
what poorly drained soils which
make excellent pasture, but which
are not suited to some Of the crops
grown in that area.
OF crops grown in Virginia flue-
cured tobacco is probably the most
sensitive to soil conditions 1t does
not do best on the heavier soils
found III some areas in the tobacco
belt. And such crops as peanuts.
corn and soybeans need specific
soil conditions.
