Official State Soil: Scobey 
August 14th 

This is a photo of the layers that make up a Scobey soil profile. Scobey: Grassland Soils. Layer 1: Plowing mixes surface organic matter into the top six inches. Layer 2: Clays washed down by seeping rainwater accumulate in this layer. Layer 3: Rainwater does not regularly seep this deep, so lime and salts accumulate rather than wash down and out.
