WRENGART SERIES - The Wrengart series consists of very deep, moderately well drained soils on uplands. Permeability is moderately slow. These soils formed in loess and residuum from cherty limestone. Slopes range from 2 to 35 percent. Mean annual temperature is 55 degrees F., and mean annual precipitation is 38 inches. USE AND VEGETATION: Most of the Wrengart soils are used for pasture or hayland. Some areas are used for cultivated crops and the remainder is mixed hardwoods. Native vegetation is mixed deciduous trees.

HAYMOND SERIES - The Haymond series consists of very deep, well drained, soils that formed in silty alluvium. These soils are on flood plains and flood-plain steps. Slope ranges from 0 to 3 percent. Mean annual air temperature is about 13 degrees C (55 degrees F), and mean annual precipitation is about 1067 mm (42 inches). USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas are used to grow corn and soybeans. Some of the narrow flood plains are used for forest or pasture. The native vegetation is deciduous forest, mainly of beech, elm, hickory, hackberry, buckeye, sugar maple, oak, and sycamore.

USEFUL SERIES - The Useful series consists of deep, moderately well drained, moderately slowly permeable soils that formed in loess and the underlying clayey materials or residuum from dolomite. These soils are on uplands and have slopes of 2 to 15 percent. Mean annual temperature is 56 degrees F., and mean annual precipitation is 39 inches. USE AND VEGETATION: Mostly cleared and used for cropland, hay, and pasture. Some abandoned areas have reverted to hardwood forest. White oak and red oak are the principal species. Native vegetation is mixed hardwoods.

UNION SERIES - The Union series consists of very deep, moderately well drained soils formed in a layer of loess that contains a fragipan and in the underlying clayey residuum weathered from cherty limestone or cherty dolomite. In some pedons, the clayey residuum is partially derived from components of sandstone and acid shale. These soils have moderate permeability in the upper part and slow permeability in the fragipan. They are on upland ridgetops and backslopes with slopes ranging from 2 to 25 percent. Mean annual temperature is about 56 degrees F, and mean annual precipitation is about 40 inches. USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas are in pasture or forest. A small acreage is cropped to corn, small grains, and hay. Native vegetation is hardwood forest.

BEEMONT SERIES - The Beemont series consists of deep and very deep, moderately well drained soils that formed in residuum from cherty materials mixed with residuum from shale and some sandstone overlying bedrock. These soils are on uplands and have slopes ranging from 3 to 35 percent. Mean annual temperature is 55 degrees F, and mean annual precipitation is 42 inches. USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas remain in mixed hardwood forest. Post oak, blackjack oak, black oak, and eastern red cedar are the principal species.  

RACOON SERIES - The Racoon series consists of very deep, poorly drained, slowly permeable soils on till plains, lake plains, terraces and high flood plains. These soils have slopes of 0 to 3 percent. They formed in a mixture of loess and silty local alluvium. Mean annual precipitation is about 42 inches, and mean annual temperature is about 55 degrees F. USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas are used to grow corn and soybeans. Native vegetation is hardwood forest.
