Our second day of practice was at the fairgrounds just outside of Houston, Missouri. The team described three soils along a catenary sequence from the shoulder to a footslope on a gentle hillslope. The upper two soils both had well developed fragipans, while the footslope soil did not. We snuck in a team texture tournament during lunch!
