Description

Farmland classification identifies map units as prime farmland, farmland ofstatewide importance, farmland of local importance, or unique farmland. Itidentifies the location and extent of the soils that are best suited to food, feed,fiber, forage, and oilseed crops. NRCS policy and procedures on prime andunique farmlands are published in the "Federal Register," Vol. 43, No. 21,January 31, 1978.

EDGEMONT SERIES

The Edgemont series consists of deep and very deep, well drained soils formed in the weathered residuum of quartzitic rocks. They have moderatelyhigh to high saturated hydraulic conductivity. Slopes range from 0 to 70 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 41 inches and mean annualtemperature is about 53 degrees F.

TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fineloamy, mixed, active, mesic Typic Hapludults

TYPICAL PEDON: Edgemont channery sandy loam, 8 to 25 percent slopes extremely stony woodland (Colors are for moist soil unless otherwisestated.)

Oi0 to 1 inches; slightly decomposed plant material; abrupt smooth boundary.

Oe1 to 2 inches; very dark gray (10YR 3/1) moderately decomposed plant material; moderately acid; abrupt smooth boundary.

A2 to 3 inches; black (10YR 2/1) gravelly sandy loam; weak fine granular structure; very friable, nonsticky, nonplastic; 20 percent subroundedgravel; extremely acid; abrupt smooth boundary.

TYPE LOCATION: Berks County, Pennsylvania. Ruscomb Manor Township, 1 1/4 miles southeast of Breezy Corner about 270 feet north ofquarry on the north side of Route T569. Fleetwood, Pennsylvania, USGS 7.5 Minute Quadrangles, lat. 40 degrees, 24 minutes, 10.00 seconds N. andlong. 75 degrees, 49 minutes, 38.00 seconds W.

RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: Solum thickness ranges from 20 to 40 inches. Depth to bedrock ranges from about 31/2 to 7 feet. Kaolinite isthe dominant mineral in the clay fraction with detectable amounts of illite, vermiculite, montmorillonite, chlorite and interstratified clays. Gravel,channers, and stone size fragments of quartzite and quartz are present throughout the profile. Rock fragments range from 5 to 40 percent in thehorizons of the solum and from 10 to 90 percent in the C horizon. Weighted average of rock fragments is less than 35 percent in the control section.Reaction ranges from extremely acid to strongly acid throughout.

The A horizon has hue of 10YR to 5YR, value of 3 to 6, and chroma of 0 to 4. Texture is loam, sandy loam, fine sandy loam, and silt loam. The Ahorizon is generally channery or gravelly.
