Field 1

 

Surface:

.... soil feels gritty but contain enough silt and clay to make moist soil hold together.  The individual sand grains can readily be seen and felt. Squeezed when dry, it will form a mold which breaks readily upon handling. If squeezed when moist, mold can be formed which can be carefully handled without breaking. It forms no ribbon or very poor ribbon.


Subsurface:

.... soil usually breaks into clods or lumps when dry.  When the moist soil is squeezed out between thumb and forefinger, it crushes with some effort. It will form a short (1 inch to 2 inch) well-formed ribbon with a shiny surface which will tend to break or the ribbon will bend downward. The sandy clay loam texture has a slightly gritty feel when moist.

Field 3

 

Surface:

.... soil feels gritty but contain enough silt and clay to make moist soil hold together.  The individual sand grains can readily be seen and felt. Squeezed when dry, it will form a mold which breaks readily upon handling. If squeezed when moist, mold can be formed which can be carefully handled without breaking. It forms no ribbon or very poor ribbon.


Subsurface:

.... soil form very hard, massive lumps or clods when dry and are quite plastic and sticky when wet. When the moist soil is squeezed out between thumb and forefinger it crushes with considerable effort and will form a long (2 inch+) ribbon which will support itself. The sandy clay texture may also have a slightly gritty feel when moist.
