Official Series Description - F~T CULLING Serves
rage ~ or 4
•
Mean summer soil temperature: 15 to 22 degrees C. (59 to 72 degrees F.)
Depth to the base of the Bt: 28 to 76 centimeters (11 to 30 inches)
Depth to calcareous material: 20 to 51 centimeters (8 to 20 inches)
Organic carbon upper 38 centimeters (15 inches): ranges from .6 to 2 percent (weighted average .8
percent)
Average sand/clay ratio: 1 to 3
Base saturation: 90 to 100 percent
Rock fragments: 0 to 15 percent, (typically less than 5 percent)
Moisture control section: not dry in all part for more than I/Z of the time that the soil temperature is
above 5 degrees C. (41 degrees F.) (moist in some or all parts during May and June)
Moisture control section: not dry for 45 consecutive days following July 15.
A horizon:
Hue: lOYR or 2.SY
Value: 5 to 7, 3 to 5 moist
Chroma: 2 or 3
When the value of the surface horizon is as dark as 5 dry and 3 moist the horizon must be thin enough so
that if the soil is mixed to 7 inches it vaill have an ochric epipedon or it must contain less than 1 percent
organic matter. Structure: usually granular but may be weak subangular blocky
Firmness: soft or slightly hard
Reaction: neutral to slightly alkaline.
Bt horizon:
Hue: 2.SY to 7.SYR
Value: 5 to 7, 4 or 5 moist
Chroma: 2 to 4
Texture: loam or clay loam
Clay content: 18 to 35 percent
Silt content: 20 to SO percent
Sand content: 20 to 50 percent (more than 15 percent but less than 35 percent being fine sand or coarser)
Structure: prismatic but subangular blocky in some pedons
Reaction: neutral or slightly alkaline.
Bk or C horizon:
Hue: 2. SY or l OYR
Value: 6 or 7, 5 or 6 moist
Chroma: 2 to 6
Reaction: moderately alkaline or strongly alkaline
Calcium carbonate equivalent: 5 to 15 percent
Textures: loam or clay loam and less commonly sandy clay loam.

Toluca and Waaonhound series.
Arnor and Rauzi soils are redder hues and Arnor soils contain 15 to 30 percent rock fragments.
Augustine, Dalhart, Goesling, &Pinitos soils have thicker argillic layers with the base of the Bt in
excess of 56 centimeters (22 inches).
Augustine soils may have a calcic horizon below t02 centimeters (44 inches).
Arwite, Deekay and Wagonhound soils are dry for 45 consecutive days in July through September.
