[QUOTE="donnaIL, post: 153106, member: 37"] In April 05, we paid 10.60 ton (100 tons/3 to 4 tons an acre) & they spread it. The fertilizer company had the lime trucked in--about 100 miles. I'm sure price is up with fuel prices up. When we wanted a test we contacted the county USDA office and they told us where they sent their soil tests and let us borrow a plugger..told us how to take samples. We divided the samples into 7 acre sections and took a sample per acre, then marked the fields NE, NW, SE, SW. The soil tests ran $75, we had some extra anaysis besides just fertilizer recommendations. Another fertilizer company we are using for potash, phos, and nitrogen, has recommended a pelleted lime (I think it is more like your lawn fertilizers) for a "fast acting" result until the lime application we had this spring kicks it. We will probably test early in the year to see where the soil is at and then decide. The price seemed reasonable and they put it in the spreader & we would spread. sorry so long winded.
