Official State Soil: Antigo
February 29th

Antigo soils support forests of American basswood, sugar maple, and quaking aspen. These forests are home to many types of mammals, reptiles, mosses, fungi, bacteria, millipedes, and insects. Clean water drains from Antigo soils into streams where frogs and fish live.

Most Antigo soils are used to grow corn, wheat, hay, potatoes, and snap beans. The steeper areas are also used to harvest timber and graze cattle.
