This particular farm is more clay than anything. but most of our land is a loamy type soil and hardly any of the land in eastern NC is that black organic deep top soil like you see in the midwest. There are some areas but not many. Most of the land is either a clay loam or sand and some of this sand is like ocean beach sand and is not forgiving at all when it comes to drought. I am fortunate to farm some land that does hold moisture but we only have about 12 inches of top soil at best and those 12 inches are what we have built up with our farm practices.CF
