[QUOTE="EIEIO, post: 152836, member: 1947"] I don't remember but I paid either $18 or $22 a ton this year. We had ours spread in October. This place had not been limed in years and needed 2 tons per acre. Distance from the quarry will make a big difference in your prices especially with the price of fuel the haulers are having to pay out. This year our local quarry was out of the crushed lime and was not going to be producing anymore so the guy that spread mine had the lime hauled in from about 90 miles away. Don't know if there is any truth to it but he did tell me that different quarries produce different "quality" of lime which does make some sense and he said where he got mine from was much better than the local stuff. Pharmer, I used to live in NW Arkansas and we never limed there. I remember when we moved there asking a rancher how often he limed and the guy looked at me like I was crazy, said it's just not needed in the area we lived and had never heard of anyone spreading lime. While living there I never knew of anyone having to lime their pastures. J [/QUOTE]
