Explore the rich soils around Brunswick, Georgia, and how they shape farming prospects.
This report surveys upland and river-bottom soils in Glynn County, explaining their formation and crop potential. It links soil types to practical uses, drainage, and management to help farmers plan crops like rice, cabbage, celery, onions, and more. Clear guidance on lime, fertilizers, and soil improvement offers a practical path for adapting local land to productive use.
- Portsmouth loam and Portsmouth fine sand show strong value for cabbage, celery, onions, tomatoes, and vegetables with appropriate drainage and liming.
- Amelia fine sand covers wide pine lands, needing moisture management and heavy organic matter to support vegetables.
- Congaree clay dominates river bottoms, with good rice potential when dikes, drainage, and irrigation are properly managed.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a preliminary study of the soil in and around Brunswick, Georgia, carried out in 1909 by the United States Department of Agriculture. The author notes that until this time, very little attention was paid to the soils in this area, and so the study was commissioned to determine the character of the soil, ascertain crop adaptations and capabilities, and describe the important soils of the region. The study identified a number of soil types in the Brunswick area, including Portsmouth Loam, Portsmouth Fine Sand, Portsmouth Clay, Portsmouth Mucky Loam, Coxville Fine Sandy Loam, Amelia Fine Sand, Congaree Clay, Congaree Mucky Sandy Loam, and Peat. The author provides a detailed description of each soil type, including its texture, depth, drainage, and suitability for different crops. The discussion of each soil type includes information about how the soil was formed, its topography, and its agricultural history. The author also provides recommendations for how to improve the productivity of each soil type. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the soils of the Brunswick, Georgia area. It provides a wealth of information on the different soil types in the region, their suitability for different crops, and how to improve their productivity.
