There's a new tool out there from the feds on the web that allows you to see what type of soils you have, and it will overlay it on a satellite map of your property. Has anyone ever used them or something similar to determine where to locate food plots? If not, would it be a good idea, or are these things not all that accurate?

I use Farmlogs to see how much rain I get and to map out my fields, it has a tool on there to see what time of soil you have

I’ve found them to be pretty accurate on my places. Can you find this stuff online now? USDA data?

These maps have been out since the first half of the 1900's. You can get them printed out at the NRCS office. Being on-line is new or I haven't seen them before. I have always gotten them in a packet when having a NRCS program done. They are very accurate. I have no idea how they get their info but mine have always been exact. I wouldn't think they would be much help with foodplots because most people can't choose where to put a plot. They have to put it where the opening is or wherever is available.

That's a cool site, thanks for posting. I just got on there and did it for my lease. This was the output I got for pH (1 to 1 Water) section. So is the "Rating" column the expected pH value or is that just some numerical rating?

For land owners claiming "current use" for property taxes, the soil group of the land is a determining factor in tax amount.
