Ever wondered if there was an easy way to find out about the soils beneath your feet? Well, thanks to the NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service) and the Internet – we can all explore what lies beneath the surface…..
Here’s the link: Web Soil Survey
They have a quick link Green Button to run the program but it doesn’t usually work so try the search box instead. All you need is an address in the United States and it will bring up an aerial photograph. From there, you select an AOI (Area of Interest) and it will bring up all kinds of good information.
This a great tool for learning more about Soil Classifications as defined by the USDA.
Happy Surveying!
