Goldsboro soil and landscape

Soil profile: A representative soil profile of the Goldsboro series. Goldsboro soils are moderately well drained with a seasonal high water table within a depth of 45 to 75 centimeters commonly during December through April. (Soil Survey of Webster County, Georgia; by Scott Moore, Natural Resources Conservation Service)

 

Landscape: Goldsboro soils are moderately suited to corn, soybeans, peanuts, and wheat and well suited to cotton lint and tobacco. Management concerns--the seasonal high water table restricts equipment operation, decreases the viability

of crops, and interferes with the planting and harvesting of crops.
