The USDA soil survey inside Firth comes back Wymore at about 80 percent of the survey, with Kennebec alongside it. The texture split is 82 percent clay and 9 percent silt. Linear extensibility, the measure of how much a soil swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries, is weighted at 6.73 percent here, which USDA reads as high shrink swell potential. Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the weather station east southeast of Crete, precipitation averages 31 inches a year and about 133 days a year have a low of 32 degrees or colder, so the soil beside a wall can be wet, dry or frozen at different times of the year. What is actually happening at your address is something we confirm on site, not something we read off a map.
