Soil Management Group 28 



BiDDEFORD SILT LOAM 

 BiDDEFORD SILTY CLAY LOAM 



WhATELY FINE SANDY LOAM 



These soils are very poorly drained and swampy. They include soils 

 with a sandy layer over silts and clays as well as soils that have developed 

 entirely from silt and clay materials. The soils are found in low lying 

 areas and are completely saturated most of the year, with water standing 

 on the surface for many months. These factors limit any agricultural ac- 

 tivities to periods of extremely dry weather. The use of these soils is definite- 

 ly limited by the high water table. Artificial drainage should be installed 

 only where a suitable outlet can be found and the cost involved will be 

 justified by the increased crop yields.
