Official State Soil: Crider
May 1st

Bluegrass, or poa grass, grows on soils throughout Kentucky, which is why the state's nickname is the Bluegrass State. Crider soils were established in Caldwell County, Kentucky, in 1957. But did you know that bluegrass is not native to North America? Early European colonists brought bluegrass seeds to America in mixtures with other grasses.
