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 has 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. |

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. |
