I our ground you have to keep the soil PH up or the fertilizer cant be used by the crop. This lime is not a powder lime but it's called AG Meal and it's like large sand and it's wet. Soybeans grown in ground with a high lime (PH) content are really dark green almost dark blue and grow very good. There are 6 or 7 places to get lime at around me and the lime is totally different from each other. Ware I got this from just opened up 4 years ago and has a very high Calcium content to it. I put 2 ton to the acre on this ground as it needs it and in 3 or 4 years I will add another ton or 1 1/2 ton to the acre to get the PH back up. With Lime there is an old saying "Half Lime is Half Acid" and it's true. I have seen ground farmed by guys that never put lime on that give it up because it wont produce anymore and a new guy comes in the first year and spreads 2 to 3 ton of lime an acre but no fert and grow 45+bu beans an acre that year ware the year before it only grew 25bu beans. This is the best time of year to spread lime on bean ground, And you never spread lime on ground that your going to plant corn on because it locks up the nitrogen for 6 months to a year in the ground and the corn cant use it. Lime is as important as fertilizer to growing crops around hear. Bandit
