OBJECTIVE 2: Fully utilize field staffs to coordinate legends, conduct field studies, and

solve problems related to the soil resources of the Indiana Headwaters

MLRA Project Office area.

GOAL B: Solve soil correlation and classification problems and develop reliable soil

interpretations within the project area by collecting accurate information and

analyzing to determine its proper application.
