Belmore soil and landscape
Soil profile: The Belmore series consists of very deep, well drained soils formed in loamy and gravelly outwash and are underlain by gravelly, sandy, and loamy outwash deposits. (Delaware County, Indiana; by Gary R. Struben, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
Landscape: No-till soybeans in an area of Belmore silt loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes, and Belmore silt loam, 1 to 5 percent slopes, eroded. Belmore soils are on terraces, outwash plains, and glacial drainage channels. Slope ranges from 0 to 50 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, mixed, active, mesic Typic Hapludalfs
Depth to the base of the argillic horizon: 56 to 140 cm (22 to 55 inches) and commonly is the same as depth to carbonates
Special features: tongues of the B horizon in some pedons extend into the underlying outwash material to depths greater than 140 cm (55 inches)
Rock fragments: typically glacial pebbles of mixed lithology
USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas of Belmore soils are cultivated. Corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, and hay are principal crops. Some areas are used for fruit, early truck crops, and sugar beets.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Northwestern and west-central Ohio and northern Indiana; mainly in MLRAs 99 and 111B, and of lesser extent in 111A and 111E. The type location is in MLRA 111B. The series is of moderate extent.
