Typical Pedon: Winfield silt loam, 9 to 14 percent slopes.
Ap=0 to 6 inches; brown (10YR 4/3) silt loam; pale brown (10YR 6/3) dry;
moderate fine granular structure; friable; common fine roots; few dark
brown (10YR 3/3) stains; neutral; clear smooth boundary.
E=6 to 10 inches; brown (10YR 4/3) silt loam; weak medium subangular blocky
structure; friable; common fine roots; slightly acid; clear smooth boundary.
BE=10 to 14 inches; dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) silt loam; moderate
medium subangular blocky structure; friable; many fine roots; slightly
acid; clear smooth boundary.
Bt1=14 to 22 inches; yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) silty clay loam; moderate
fine subangular blocky structure; firm; common fine roots; many faint
brown clay films on faces of peds; strongly acid; gradual smooth boundary.
Bt2=23 to 30 inches; yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) silt clay loam; strong
medium subangular blocky structure; firm; few fine roots; many faint brown
clay films on faces of peds; some peds coated with gray silt; common fine
very dark brown iron and manganese concretions; very strongly acid; gradual
smooth boundary.
Btg1=30 to 40 inches; variegated light brownish gray (10YR 6/2), dark
brown (7.5YR 4/4) and yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) silt clay loam; moderate
medium prismatic structure parting to weak medium subangular blocky; firm;
few fine roots; many faint clay films on peds; very thick light brownish
gray clay coatings on flows on some vertical prism faces; many very dark
brown iron and manganese concretions; very strongly acid; gradual smooth
boundary.
Btg2=40 to 54 inches; gray (10Y 6/1) silty clay loam; moderate medium
prismatic structure parting to weak medium subangular blocky; firm; few
fine roots; many distinct clay films on vertical faces of prisms; few
faint clay films on other faces of peds; many fine distinct dark yellowish
brown (10YR 4/4) masses of iron accumulation in ped interiors; many soft
very dark brown iron and manganese accumulations; very strongly acid;
diffuse wavy boundary.
Cg=54 to 60 inches; gray (10YR 6/1) silt loam; massive; friable; few fine
roots; many fine prominent dark brown (7.5YR 4/4) masses of iron accumulation
in ped interiors; common soft very dark brown iron and manganese accumulations;
moderately acid.
Range in Characteristics: Sand content averages less than 10 percent
throughout the series control section. Depth to the base of the argillic
is 25 to 65 inches. The Ap horizon is silt loam or silty clay loam.
Drainage and Permeability: Moderately well drained. Runoff is medium
to very rapid. Permeability is moderately. In undisturbed areas there
is a perched water table that has an upper limit of 2.0 to 3.5 feet during
November to April in most years.
Use and Vegetation: Most areas are cleared and used to grow soybeans,
small grains, corn, hay, and pasture. Remaining areas are in hardwood
forest. Native vegetation is deciduous hardwood (oak and hickory).
