    Ap—0 to 13 centimeters (0.0 to 5.1 inches);, dark brown (10YR 3/3) broken face, moist; fine sandy loam; 14 percent clay; weak coarse granular structure; soft, very friable, nonsticky, nonplastic; moderate permeability; 1.0 very fine roots throughout; fragments; noneffervescent, by hcl, 1n; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # KSUSS4231; observed in push tube. This pedon had unmistakeable mollic color to 13 cm. With mixing to 18 cm, I decided this pedon would make mollic criteria.
