[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1647025, member: 18945"] There are many different soil types in East Texas and even within each county. Most are loams. Loam is just a term denoting the soil has 3 or more components and the different loams are categorized depending which % of each of sand, silt, or clay makes up the soil. I have a high degree of silt and clay compared to sand. It's officially called the [I]Hatliff[/I]-[I]Pluck[/I]-Kian (HatA) complex. The Hatliff itself is a well drained deep sandy loam but the HatA complex is poorly drained, low degree slope, high % silt and clay frequently flooded and deemed 'not prime farmland" by NCRS because of the Pluck component. 2 Miles West or North of me, the soil type changes drastically, even tho the location is equally as close to the river as I am.
