[QUOTE="Dave, post: 733113, member: 498"] This area is a real assortment of soil. The glaciers from the last ice age ended where the river is now at the south end of my home place. Around the house and barnyard it is a glacial outwash. Fist size rock with very little dirt for deeper than you want to dig. it drains very fast and you can drive anywhere on it anytime. From behind the barn on back to the river it is a silt loam. Great soil, it holds moisture well and is very workable. At the summer pasture, only about 3 miles south as the crow flies, it is blue clay with about 4 inches of top soil. Over there if it rains two drops they will both be sitting on the surface. Probably 90 % of that place has standing water on the surface from November until mid May. The nieghbor says the difference between too wet to plow and too dry to plow is about a day and a half.
