Profile of Crider soil

Description

The Natural Resources Conservation Service describes Crider as a soil series with "very deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils on uplands. They formed in a mantle of loess and the underlying limestone residuum."[1][6] It is known to be present in Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, and Tennessee.[1] The soil is a considered highly productive agricultural soil, such that much of Kentucky's land with Crider soil is used for farming.[1][5][6]

State soil

In 1990, Crider was named the state soil of Kentucky.[7][5][6] It is present in 35 counties in the state, most extensively in the Pennyroyal Plateau.[7]

gollark: This is for rendering the area around a player.
gollark: ```javascriptconst renderPlayer = (player) => { let str = "" for (let y = player.y - 5; y <= player.y + 5; y++) { for (let x = player.x - 10; x <= player.x + 10; x++) { let wallCol = getWallColor(x, y) if (x >= WIDTH) { str += wallCol } else if (y >= HEIGHT) { str += wallCol } else if (x < 0) { str += wallCol } else if (y < 0) { str += wallCol } else { let id = getEnemy(x, y) if (id != -1) { str += enemy_icons[enemies[id].id] } else { let id = getPlayer(x, y) if (id != -1) { str += players[id].icon } else { let id = getBonus(x, y) if (id != -1) { str += "?" } else { str += " " } } } } } str += "\n" } return str}```
gollark: YES, SOME OFFENSE.
gollark: As I said, this is not very good code.]
gollark: Every rendered tile.
