Which agricultural areas of New Brunswick have the richest soils?

In New Brunswick, the richest soils are found within the province's floodplains. Although these areas represent only a tiny percentage of the total landmass, they are highly suitable for truck farming, which is concentrated near the southern cities, particularly in the lower St. John River valley.1

It is important to note that the majority of soils throughout the province are acidic and low in nutrients, with most well-drained soils classified as podzols or luvisols. Consequently, almost all cultivable land in New Brunswick faces moderate to severe limitations that require special conservation practices or restrict the range of crops that can be grown.2
