Important agricultural soils are a subset of the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey, including prime and other important agricultural soils. The soil map and data used were prepared by soil scientists as part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The subset includes soils of Prime and Statewide Importance:<\/SPAN><\/P> <\/P> Prime: Suite of the most productive agricultural soils in the state. Soil capable of high and sustained productivity. Soil has a favorable combination of texture, nutrients, topography, drainage, and soil moisture. <\/SPAN><\/P> Statewide: Also, highly productive agricultural soils across the State. Compared to Prime soils, statewide soils may have lower productivity due to limited moisture availability, slow drainage, flooding, and or steepness. <\/SPAN><\/P> Statewide with Limitations: Statewide soils requiring artificial drainage for farming. Without drainage, these are not Statewide soils.<\/SPAN><\/P> <\/P> For more information see the Farmland Classification Systems for Vermont Soils report.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV>",
