Hay ground! That is a different animal. I believe you are close on the 50-50 split the way you are doing it. Would seem right for my area. You are very wise to get a long-term contract. Very important for hay ground, good for you. My ph averages 7.1, so liming is not done 'here', but deal with that first if you are in an area that needs lime. Rest of the stuff won't help much until you get the ph close to right. Ph improvements are long-term, cost a lot the first year, so again - good on the long term contract. You might want to work out the initial costs to bring land up to par, as there might not be much 50-50 to spread around the fist year..... Regular P & K have skyrocketed in price in the past 3 months like you wouldn't believe, I assume organic sources have followed suit. If you need to do lime & perhaps try the 3 year application of P & K that would be typical (hay seems to prefer the shock treatment over small doses every year?), you can be into shocking the poor fellow. Might want to prepare him for the idea & that costs will be way down & income up in following years. But, depends on how you need to do it for organic. --->Paul
