Crider Silt Loam

The Crider series consists of deep, well drained soils on wide, nearly level ridges; on short, strongly sloping side slopes; and in sinks. These soils are extensive; they cover a broad north-south belt across the center of the county. The surface layer and the upper part of the subsoil formed primarily in loess (windblown silt), and the lower part of the subsoil formed primarily in residuum derived from high-grade limestone.
