Stanton County, NE's soil, for a septic absorption field
Very limited
Soil across 60.8% of Stanton County, NE rates "Very limited" in USDA's septic-absorption-field interpretation.

What Stanton County's reading doesn't cover
Two lots a mile apart in Stanton County can carry different soil, even though they share one countywide rating. A local percolation test, typically $750-$1,850 (around $1,300 typical), is the only way to know what one lot in Stanton County will actually do.
What a system would cost here
With 60.8% of Stanton County rating "Very limited", a standard gravity system is not a safe assumption here. The engineered-system range, $10,000-$40,000 (mound or aerobic treatment), is the more realistic number to plan around, against $3,000-$8,000 for a conventional system on the rare lot that passes.
