Wisconsin State Soil
The State Soil of Wisconsin is the Antigo Soil Series
In 1983, the Wisconsin Legislature designated the Antigo series as the official State soil. The series was named after the city of Antigo, Wisconsin.
Antigo soils are well-drained and formed in loess and loamy sediments over stratified sandy outwash. These soils are among the most extensive soils in Wisconsin.
They occur on about 300,000 acres in the northern part of the State. They are very productive soils for corn, small grain, and hay. In some areas potatoes or snap beans are important crops. The steeper areas are used for pasture or for timber production.
