Official State Soil: Lester
June 1st

Lester soils supported woodlands with trees like the Norway pine and savannahs before the trees were cleared for agriculture. The state's bird, the common loon, still calls these soils home. Agricultural crops flourish in these soils. They are very productive and important to the Minnesota economy.
