}
\arguments{
\item{afsp_dir}{Directory containing the extracted AfSP DBase
tables (\code{AfSP012Qry_Profiles.dbf},
\code{AfSP012Qry_Layers.dbf}).}

\item{max_n}{Optional integer; take a random sample of this size
from the classifiable profiles.}

\item{countries}{Optional character vector of ISO country codes to
keep (e.g.\ \code{c("MW", "ET", "TZ")}).}

\item{wrb_codes}{Optional character vector of WRB 2006 RSG codes
to keep (e.g.\ \code{c("VR", "FR", "AC")}).}

\item{verbose}{Print progress.}
}
\value{
A list of \code{\link{PedonRecord}} objects.
}
\description{
Reads the AfSP DBase tables shipped inside \code{AF-AfSP1.2.zip}
(downloadable from
\code{https://files.isric.org/public/afsp/AF-AfSP1.2.zip}) and
converts each profile + its horizons to a soilKey
\code{\link{PedonRecord}}. Filters to profiles with a populated
WRB 2006 RSG code (i.e.\ classifiable; AfSP has ~7000 of these of
the total 18,533).
