These deep non-stony soils developed on loose, fairly coarse-textured 

 glacial till are all well drained. Water moves through them rapidly, and 

 they retain less moisture for plants than the soils in Group 1. They have 

 a tendency to be more droughty than the well-drained soils which developed 

 on medium-textured glacial tills: therefore, plants on these soils will show 

 the effects of a lack of moisture during shorter periods of drought. 



A large share of the acreage of non-stony glacial till soils in New 

 Hampshire is found in this group. The topography is commonly rolling to 

 hilly, which makes it necessary to protect these areas with proper soil 

 management and conservation measures to maintain their productivity.
