There are guys around me that get the same stuff out of Dubuque. They use manure spreaders to spead it. They usually have it hauled in dump trucks and have it dumped in a pile and let it dry six months to a year before they spread it.
A vertical beater spreader workes better than a conventional spreader at spreading it.
That lime is really rough on a spreader as far as wear. It is not totally "free" when you count the bother of drying/handling it and the wear on equipment.
Some of the guys have started stock piling it close to where they have their manure. They load the spreader 3/4 with manure and then top it off with the lime. This way it is not quite so hard on the spreader. Plus it is kind of balanced this way.
You need to check and see how much lime your fields really need. Some of the closer farms to Dubuque spread too much and they had to balance for that issue.
