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, a mold can be formed which can be carefully handled
without breaking. It forms no ribbon or very poor ribbon |
Subsurface:
| soils have a slightly smooth
or velvety feel when moist. Squeezed when dry, it forms a mold
that will bear careful handling. The mold formed by squeezing
when moist can be handled freely, without breaking. When the
moistened soil is squeezed out between thumb and forefinger, it
will form a poor ribbon with a dull surface |

Subsurface:
soils usually break into clods

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 4
Surface:
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.
