The Minnesota terrain varies greatly from shallow and gritty in the western parts to deep and fine in the East. Most of the clay-rich regions of Austin are also prone to shrinking under moist conditions. Considering the humid weather the area experiences and the extremely dry summers, it definitely an expert level of skill and knowledge to work with Minnesota’s terrain and achieve perfection.
