It consists of very deep (36 to 48 inches), well drained soils or moderately well drained soils formed in till on till plains and moraines. A large part of the gently sloping areas are cropped to corn, small grains, beans, and legume-grass hay. Steeper areas are in permanent pasture or forest. Native vegetation is northern hardwood forests of sugar maple, American beech, and American basswood.
