Map Unit: Bs - Brookston silt clay loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes
Brookston silty clay loam (0 to 2 percent slopes) (Bs).--Some of this soil is in large tracts within which are
irregularly shaped islandlike areas of lighter colored soils, and some of it is in drainageways and small depressions
surrounded by lighter colored soils. This soil has the profile described as representative of the series.
The content of organic matter is high in this soil. Wetness is the main limitation that affects use and management
If this Brookston soil is adequately drained, it is suited to all crops commonly grown in the county. Under proper
management it can be used intensively for row crops. Its limitations for uses associated with residential
development are severe. Capability unit IIw-1: tree and shrub suitability group 1.
Map Unit: CrA - Crosby silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes
CrA— Crosby silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes
This is a somewhat poorly drained soil and has a seasonal high watertable at 0.5 to 2.0 ft. and is on rises on uplands. Slopes
are 0 to 2 percent. The native vegetation is hardwoods. The surface layer is silt loam and has moderately low or moderate
organic matter content (1.0 to 3.0 percent). Permeability is very slow (< 0.06 in/hr) in the most restrictive layer above 60
inches. Available water capacity is moderate (6.2 inches in the upper 60 inches).The pH of the surface layer in non -limed
areas is 5.1 to 6.0. Droughtiness and wetness are management concerns for crop production. This soil responds well to file
drainage.
