Miamian soil chosen as Ohio state soil candidate
The Association of Ohio Pedologists unanimously selected Miamian soil, a deep, well drained brown silt loam found in central and western Ohio, as the candidate state soil. Miamian covers over half a million acres in at least 15 counties and is named after the Miami Indians. It is valued for sustained yields in corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, and hay, with careful management.
