This soil is a dark gray or gray fine sandy loam having a depth of 8 to 10 inches. Small rounded black to dark brown iron concretions or pebbles are scattered over the surface and mixed with the soil. The subsoil is a sticky, waxy, impervious clay of a yellowish color, but turns brown on exposure to the air. Below 24 to 30 inches, this clay grades into a soft greenish yellow Fig. 7.—A field of red clover on Iredell loam type of soil This Iredell fine sandy loam has a flat to rolling surface. The flat to gently rolling areas lie mainly in the western part of the county, along Coddle Creek, and are poorly drained, while its more rolling areas along Dutch Buffalo Creek have good surface drainage. It is a mellow soil and one easy to till where well drained. Wheat, oats, corn, and grasses do well, and Bermuda grass could be successfully grown for pasturage purposes. This soil is handled in practically the same way and requires similar fertilization as the Iredell Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original North Carolina.
