Crider soil and landscape
Kentucky State Soil
Soil profile: Profile of Crider silt loam in an area of Crider-Vertrees silt loams, karst, rolling, eroded. This very deep soil has a 3-foot-thick loess cap over a cherty layer over a paleosol developed from clayey limestone residuum.
Landscape: No-till corn in an area of Crider soil. Crop residue management helps to slow runoff, reducing erosion. Crider soils in Harrison County are along backslopes, shoulders, and summits around sinkholes on hills underlain with Mississippian limestone bedrock.
