    A—0 to 51 centimeters (0.0 to 20.1 inches); black (5YR 2/1) clay loam; weak medium granular structure; soft; fragments; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # NDSU1999, NDSU2000, NDSU1998; dry when described;
    O—8 to 0 centimeters (3.1 to 0.0 inches); very dark brown (10YR 2/2) peat; loose; ; fragments; abrupt smooth boundary.; dry when described;. Groundwater at 135cm. Coarse fragments from 1 to 5 percent. Soils were sampled for laboratory analysis in 15cm increments. Profile was dry to surface when sampled. KCI exractable iron tests were performed on the 0-15 and 45-60cm increments. Both tested negative.
