I have just acquired some new ground to rent, about 60 acres. I'd like to soil sample it mostly to find the ph of the soil, but the local co-op says they can't spread lime anymore this spring as all their drivers are spreading fertilizer and spraying now that the busy planting season is upon us. So being I can't get any lime broadcast onto these fields, can I apply lime with my planter? I have a JD 7000 with dry fertilizer on it. I am looking to plant these fields into soybeans, as they were corn last year. Also, what, if any fertilizer would you place on these fields when you don't know what your dealing with as far as nutrients already in the soil?
I hate guessing like this, but I wanna do all I can to try to get a decent crop. I did have my beans treated, should I just plant and see what I get? That seems like a gamble too. I really wish I could just get some darn lime on there, but I'm not even sure it needs it. What does a guy do in a case like this?? seems either way is a gamble?
update: The co-op just called me, they are suggesting 100 lbs of lime and 100 lbs of Potash mixed and applied through my planter in row. Does this seem like a decent idea?

The setting is rural Wisconsin, halfway between East Troy and Elkhorn, on Hodunk Road, our nation was at war, and I was 6, 7 and 8 years old. George was our "threshing neighbor." He was the one with the threshing machine, a JI Case on steel wheels, and he pulled it to our farm with a JI Case standard tractor also on steel. In those days, steel wheeled implements were common. The roads were general gravel, so the lugs cutting into them wasn't a problem. George would set up the thresher, s
