Definition

A soil series formed in alluvium and primarily used for crops, most notably rice and also soybeans, small grains and corn, all of which ducks and geese feed on in the colder months; they are classified as alfisols but their high content of montmorillonite puts them close to the vertisol class; the series is the state soil of Arkansas.

Etymology

Named for the city of Stuttgart, Arkansas (the seat of Arkansas County's northern district), around which the soil is commonly used.
