The 16 soil series sampled generally represent soils of agricultural importance and occur extensively in Minnesota. They include a wide range of soil properties found in agricultural soils in the state. The actual sampling site for each soil series met two criteria: it was close to a modal or typical profile and it had a known 5-year history of pesticide use. Supplementary profile descriptions and laboratory data were available prior to sampling from the Soil Conservation Service or the Bureau of Public Roads for a few of the soil series at their sampling sites.en-USSoilNewsletter or Bulletin
