Excerpt from Soil Survey of Dekalb County, Missouri, 1916
The Grundy silt loam occupies the flat to very gently rolling land locally known as prairie. Throughout its extent the type has a nearly level to slightly undulating topography. The slope generally is sufficient to give adequate natural drainage. Artificial drainage, however, would no doubt prove beneficial in a few small areas, as at the heads of shallow draws, where crops are sometimes injured in excessively wet seasons. The type is more backward in the spring than the Shelby loam.
The largest bodies of the Grundy silt loam occur in the southern part of the county in the Vicinity of Osborn and to the northwest of this place around Amity. Smaller areas are encountered on the high interstream divides. The original vegetation consisted Of wild prairie grasses.
All the type is in cultivation. Corn, grass, oats, wheat, and clover are the important crops, ranking in the order named. The Grundy silt loam is an excellent grass and small-grain soil. For timothy and redtop it is superior to the Shelby loam, although bluegrass does better on the latter type. In recent years the acreage Of wheat has greatly increased, and excellent results have been Obtained. Although many farmers state that the Grundy silt loam is not SO good a soil as the Shelby loam, the improvements on it indicate a degree Of pros perity not equaled on any Of the other soil types in the county. On account of the heavy subsoil, the type is only fairly well suited to the production of alfalfa. As a fruit soil it is about equal to the Shelby loam.
The high value Of the Grundy silt loam for the production Of corn, primarily, and of oats and hay in proper rotation with corn, has led to the use of almost all the type for the production Of general farm crops.' The returns from this system Of general farming have been SO satisfactory that the introduction of any special crops upon the type has not been undertaken.

Excerpt from Soil Survey of Dekalb County, Missouri, 1916
By H.H. Krusekopf, In Charge, R. C.Doneghue, and M.M. McCOOL. of the University of Missouri. Description Of The Area. Fui. 1.Sketch map sbowing location of the Dekalb County area, Missouri. Dekalb County, Mo., lies in the northwestern part of the State, midway between Kansas City and the Iowa State line and 15 miles east of St. Joseph. It is bounded on the north by Gentry County, on the east by Daviess and Caldwell Counties, on the south by Clinton County, and on the west by Buchanan and Andrew Counties. It is nearly square in outline and measures 21 miles east and west and 20 miles north and south. The county has an area of 417 square miles, or 266, 880 acres. Dekalb Coimty is included within the physiographic division of the State known as the Rolling Prairie of northwestern Missouri. It occupies a broad, rolling, well-dissected plain, with a gradual slope to the south and southeast. Broad, flat bottoms a re developed a long the larger streams. The surface varies from flat to moderately hilly, although more than 80 percent of the area is only gently rolling. No considerable part of the county is too flat to have good surface drainage. The most extensive smooth area occurs in the south-central part of the county, north of Osborn, tapering to a point 4 miles north of Amity. A number of long, flat ridges, which represent interstream divides, varying from a few rods to several miles in width and from 1 mile to 6 miles in length, occur in all parts of the county. The roughest land is in the east-central section along Grindstone Creek, where a few of the hills are precipitous. The larger streams have cut their channels to only moderate depths, and their widely branching inteimittent tributaries have made only shallow incisions in the original surface, so that the ridges and hills are rounded and the slopes gradual. The chief characteristics of the topograjihy are the level plains, rounded ridges, and gentle slopes.
