Boxes will not work).\u00a0Hint:\u00a0If the town is a subset of another town like Lyman is of Alfred, you may have to type in Alfred to get the farm located.<\/li>\n<li>Click \u201cView\u201d after you type in the address and that will take you to a big map.<\/li>\n<li>Use the 5-sided tool called AOI (area of interest) at the top of the web page. Click carefully, one click at a time to outline the field(s) you wish to know more about. If you make a mistake, which is easy to do, use the arrow key to go back \u2013 it takes a few seconds. Once you have an area outlined double click your cursor.<\/li>\n<li>Now you should get a map with an area of blue lines drawn around the field(s) you highlighted.<\/li>\n<li>To see which soil types with hotlinks to more information on each type now go to the tab at the top that says \u201cSoil Map\u201d. That will show you the soil types in a map on the right. On the left you will see acreage, and soil types. The soil types will have hotlinks to detailed information about each soil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To save your soil report and create a pdf so you can share it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Click on the tab (above right) called Soil Data Explorer. You will get a map with codes for the soil type(s) on the map.<\/li>\n<li>Now click on the tab called \u201cShopping Cart Free\u201d. Then hit Check Out and choose\u00a0\u201cGet Now\u201d. This will generate a multiple page document.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you generate a report for the area you are researching you may wish to save this as a PDF file. Then you could save it to your computer and share the report via e-mail or any way you choose.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yorkswcd.org\/Soil%20&amp;%20Cropland\/soil%20&amp;%20cropland%20interpretations.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">York County Soil Types<\/a>: Use this web page for more detailed information on the soil types found from your Web Soil Survey.<\/p>\n<p>Have fun with it, and if you get stuck, feel free to give me or Sue a call and we can work on it with you.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Quiz 2<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/york\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2018\/02\/Quiz-2-\u2013-Soils-Part-II-and-Worm-Composting.docx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quiz 2 &#8211; Soils Part II and Worm Composting (Word)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/york\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2018\/02\/Quiz-2-\u2013-Soils-Part-II-and-Worm-Composting.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quiz 2 &#8211; Soils Part II and Worm Composting (PDF)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi All, A bit of follow up from yesterday&#8217;s class on Soils Part II.
