[QUOTE="kentuckyguy, post: 1574442, member: 26293"] I am in Ky and tested all my fields this spring. I had some new pasture that was trees just a year ago that tested really low PH 4.7. My recommendation from UK is 4 T/A of 100% effective lime. I can’t imagine any ground being much more acidic than this. This area was covered in a lot of pine trees before clearing. I have several fields that require quite a bit of lime. Local guy here has a lime truck with a blower for the places to steep to take the truck. He charges $22/ton spread for 50% ENV lime so pretty much means I have to put twice as much on. Still $22/ton for lime spread on steep hills is really reasonable in my book. My plan for most of it is to put 1 1/2 ton/acre on this spring and again in September. Probably will have him do it one more time in the spring and I should be good on most of the fields. [/QUOTE]
