<br /> <br />2. Kettle-Pring~Peyton area <br />-~ <br />Deep, nearly level to steep, well drained noncalcareous soils that formed <br />in material weathered from arkosic sedimentary rock. <br />Areas of these soils are in the cooler north central and northwestern <br />part of the survey area. <br />This soil area occupies about 10 percent of the survey area. About <br />30 percent of the area ie Kettle soil a, 30 percent Pring soils, and 15 <br />percent Peyton soils. The remaining 25 percent is soils of minor extent. <br />The Kettle soil has gravelly loaryy sand surSa.ce layers, the Pring <br />i~ I <br />soil has coarse sandy loam surface layers, and the Peyton soil has sandy <br />loam surface layers. <br />The minor soils in this area are the well drained brussett, Crowfoot, <br />Cruckton, Elbeth, Holderness, Jarr,~, and Tomah soils. <br />This soil is used for dryland cultivation, home~es, livestock <br /> <br />grazing, wildlife habitat and woodland. The Kettle and Elbeth soils are <br />used mostly for woodland orith a limited amount of livestock grazing. <br />Most of the homesites are also on these two soils; hoiaever, all oS the <br />soils in this area are used for homesites. Most of the Pring soil is <br />used for livestock grazing. Cultivation is mostly on the Peyton and <br />Hrussett soils. Choice of crops is limited by the short growing season. <br /> <br />
