The purpose of this investigation was to study soil development in relation to loess thickness and annual precipitation in northwestern Iowa. From a study of six profiles located along two traverses, it was concluded that soil properties were related to both loess thickness and annual precipitation on the basis of the amount and distribution of clay, percentage of total nitrogen, base saturation and depth to secondary lime.
