The glaciated Low Lime Drift Plain (61c) is characterized by ground moraines, rolling terrain, broad over-fit valleys, and numerous dairy farms. Terminal moraines, kettles, kames, and poorly drained depressions are present locally. Glacial drift, primarily Kent till of late-Wisconsinan age, overlies acidic, sedimentary rock of varying ages and types. Most soils have fragipans and are poorly drained; they are typically rocky at the surface, low in carbonate, and not especially fertile. The climate is continental and is not influenced by Lake Erie, except in northernmost locations. The soil attributes and the short growing season make The Low Lime Drift Plain ecoregion poorly suited for cropland. Most of Ecoregion 61c is best adapted to hay, oats, silage corn, and pasture. Many ridges and lowlands are wooded or idle. Hilltop elevations range from about 1,100 feet to 2,000 feet (335-610 m) and local relief is typically 250-400 feet (76-122m).
