MLRA 90 - Central Wisconsin and Minnesota Thin Loess and Till

Minnesota and Wisconsin
55,750 km2 (21,530mi2)

Water:
The moderate precipitation generally is adequate for crops and pasture, but in dry years crops on sandy soils are damaged by a lack of moisture. Most of the wet lowland soils need to be drained for good crop and forage production. Ground water is abundant in deep glacial drift deposits but scarce in areas where the drift is thin. The many lakes and streams are also sources of water.
