Adrian muck (Ad) occupies approximately 10% of the site and is defined <br /> as follows by the Dane County Soil Survey: <br /> This nearly level soil is on low bottoms or benches in stream valleys. Areas of this <br /> 1 soil are long, irregularly shaped tracts 5 to 440 acres in size. Slopes are 0 to 2 percent. <br /> Where this soil is cultivated, the surface layer is black. In areas where this soil is not <br /> drained,the surface layer is very dark brown or very dark grayish brown. <br /> Included with this soil mapping are some small areas of soils that have slopes of <br /> 2 to 6 percent. There are a few small areas of soils that have a silty over burden <br /> 6 to 12 inches thick that was washed down from higher lying soils. Also included <br /> are small areas of a soil that has organic material 40 to 51 inches thick over sand <br /> and a few small areas of Houghton soils. <br /> • <br /> This soil is suited to row crops if it is adequately drained. Deep ditches provide <br /> adequate drainage in areas where suitable outlets are available. Areas that are . e` _ <br /> not drained are better suited to wildlife habitat or limited pasture than to most <br /> • <br /> other uses. If this soil is used for farming, the major concerns of management <br /> are the installation of adequate drainage, control of soil blowing, reduction of <br /> subsidence, and improvement of the level of fertility.
