Ground conditions — Abilene, TX

Taylor County ground runs from sandy loam to tight clay with rock ledges, so the same tract can dig three different ways.

Clay holds water long after a rain, which turns unimproved driveways and pads into ruts unless there is base under them and fall away from them.
