The entire ‘middle’ of our state was ground to a pulp due to the Glaciers. It’s excellent soil for growing potatoes, carrots and onions. And the land is flat, flat, flat...also thanks to said Glaciers. ;)

The Wisconsinin Glacier reached as far as the middle of Des Moines, Iowa. Standing at the Iowa Statehouse looking south, the topography is “gently rolling.”
To the north, mostly flat and deep black soils.
The north is nearly all prime farm land. South is spotty prime.

Our property is right at the edge of where the glacier stopped. We are on a huge hill of rocks, boulders, more rocks and more boulders. The soil is sandy though. 34 years ago when we had our house built we had garden soil trucked in, mixed with the sand and then used goat manure and compost o build it up. It is like deep fine black cake flour now.
