available water capacity are medium to high. Main concerns of ihGilayament are <br />controlling water erosion and the level of the water table in low-lying areas. Much of this <br />association is farmed. A few steep areas and undrained wetland areas are used for <br />recreation and wildlife. Crops commonly grown are corn, soybeans, and alfalfa. Small <br />acreages are used as rural residences. The urban trend is increasing. <br />Nessel-Dundas-Webster Association <br />This nearly level to gently sloping soil association is a series of undulating ground <br />moraines. Steeper slopes are adjacent to large bogs and drainage -ways. All slopes <br />are short. The soil association makes up about 5% of the county. It is about 35% <br />Nessel, 15% Dundas, 15% Webster and 35% soils of minor extent. Much of this <br />association is moderately to poorly suited to most urban uses. It is well suited to <br />farming and provides sites for recreational facilities. Fertility is high, and the available <br />water capacity is very high. The chief management needs are controlling the level of <br />the water table in low lying areas, controlling erosion in the more sloping areas, and <br />maintaining fertility. About half of the association is farmed. Commonly grown crops <br />are corn, soybeans, and alfalfa. Some undrained wet areas are used for recreation and <br />wildlife. The increasing urban trend is expected to continue. <br />Emmert -Kingsley Association <br />This soil association is a gently undulating to steep morainic landscapes of short <br />irregular slopes and scattered small marshes and depressions of organic soils. This <br />association makes up 3% of the county. It is about 45% Emmert, 30% Kingsley and <br />25% soils of minor extent. Much of this association is moderately well suited to urban <br />uses and is moderately well -poorly suited to farming and recreational uses. The small <br />areas that are poorly drained are severely limited. Fertility and available water capacity <br />range from very low to high. The chief management needs are controlling water erosion <br />and controlling the level of the water table in low lying areas. A large part of this <br />association is an ordnance de -arming ground. Only a small part is farmed because the <br />soils are steep and droughty. Commonly grown crops are alfalfa, corn silage, and oats. <br />Few areas are used for recreation and wildlife. Small acreages are rural residences. <br />The urban trend continues to increase. <br />Anoka Conservation District Comprehensive Plan October 2014 page 3 <br />
