JUDSON SERIES<br />
The Judson series consists of very deep, well drained soils formed in silty colluvium derived<br />
from non-calcareous loess. These soils are on foot slopes, upland drainageways, and alluvial<br />
fans. Slope ranges from 0 to 12 percent. Mean annual air temperature is about 10 degrees C.<br />
Mean annual precipitation is about 810 millimeters.<br />
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-silty, mixed, superactive, mesic Cumulic Hapludolls<br />
TYPICAL PEDON: Judson silty clay loam, on a south-facing slope of 4 percent, in a cultivated<br />
field. (Colors are for moist soil unless otherwise stated.)<br />
Ap--0 to 23 centimeters; black (10YR 2/1) silty clay loam, very dark gray (10YR 3/1) dry, very<br />
dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) kneaded; weak medium granular structure, friable; slightly acid;<br />
abrupt smooth boundary.<br />
A1--23 to 38 centimeters; very dark brown (10YR 2/2) silty clay loam, very dark grayish brown<br />
(10YR 3/2) dry, very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) kneaded; weak fine granular and weak very<br />
fine subangular blocky structure; friable; slightly acid; gradual smooth boundary.<br />
A2--38 to 56 centimeters; very dark brown (10YR 2/2) silty clay loam, very dark grayish brown<br />
(10YR 3/2) dry, very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) kneaded; weak very fine subangular blocky<br />
structure; friable; slightly acid; gradual smooth boundary. (Combined thickness of the A horizon<br />
is 50 to 75 centimeters.)<br />
AB--56 to 71 centimeters; very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) silty clay loam, grayish brown<br />
(10YR 5/2) dry, dark brown (10YR 3/3) kneaded; moderate fine subangular blocky structure;<br />
friable; many tubular pores; moderately acid; gradual smooth boundary. (10 to 25 centimeters<br />
thick)<br />
Bt--71 to 89 centimeters; dark brown (10YR 3/3) silty clay loam, brown (10YR 5/3) dry, dark<br />
brown (10YR 3/3) kneaded; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable; many<br />
tubular pores; common very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) organoargillans on faces of peds;<br />
very few clay films; slightly acid; gradual smooth boundary. (15 to 100 centimeters thick)<br />
BC--89 to 132 centimeters; brown (10YR 4/3) silty clay loam; yellowish brown (10YR 5/4)<br />
kneaded; weak coarse subangular blocky structure; friable; many tubular pores; few very dark<br />
gray (10YR 3/1) stains on root channels; few fine faint grayish brown (10YR 5/2) redoximorphic<br />
