Summary

[edit]
Description This profile was photographed in Potter County, Texas. The soil is formed in calcareous clayey sediments of Pleistocene age on a 1 percent slope. These soils are naturally vegetated with blue gamma and buffalo grass with lesser amounts of mesquite and other grasses. This profile has a 6 inch plow layer over a thick clay textured and moderately alkaline argillic horizon. A calcic horizon is visible at about 6 feet. In normal year’s cracks open more than 5 mm in the Bt horizon and slickensides are apparent on ped surfaces. The moisture control section is dry in some or all parts for 60 percent of the time when the soil temperature is higher than 5 oC thus the Torrertic Subgroup classification. When cultivated these soils grow cotton, corn, grain sorghum and winter wheat. Irrigation is often used but some dryland cropping systems are used wherein crops are planted one year and the soil is fallowed one year to store water.
