    A1—0 to 15 centimeters (0.0 to 5.9 inches); brown (10YR 4/3), light brownish gray (10YR 6/2), dry; silt loam; 23 percent clay; weak fine subangular blocky structure; slightly hard, friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; 3.0 very fine and fine roots; 0.5 very fine vesicular pores; fragments; slight effervescence; moderately alkaline, pH 8.4, hellige-truog; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 92P05915
    B—15 to 58 centimeters (5.9 to 22.8 inches); brown (10YR 4/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; loam; 21 percent clay; weak fine and medium subangular blocky structure; slightly hard, friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; 3.0 very fine and fine roots; 0.5 very fine tubular pores; fragments; slight effervescence; strongly alkaline, pH 8.8, hellige-truog; clear smooth boundary.
