Contrasting Soils

Moisture conditions were perfect this morning to show contrasting soil types.  Right down the middle is an eroded soil with a silty clay loam surface.  On the left is a bottomland soil with a silt loam surface.  On the right is an upland soil with a silt loam surface.  The eroded soil looks dryer on the surface, but that is superficial right now.  We sample according to management zones.  The soils shown here represent 3 different management zones.
