Interesting that they follow the rows when ripping. Typically, you see them on a slight diagonal from straight on the rows.

What type of fertilizer is lime? I don’t typically see it used as commonly as phosphorus or any other fertilizers.

[@Beyonder8335]

It’s not fertilizer but rather ph regulator, used to raise the ph of the soil as the breakdown of organic matter builds up acidity. I can’t speak for these guys but our operation does them about every 7 years or so.

[@stuartmassengale3955]

Mike is this farmer a dairyman or does this farm just raise the corn and sale it to the dairy for sileage?

[@farmhandmike]

This farm here grows some corn for the dairy.

@@farmhandmike ok that's what I thought you said. I made a comment on a older post of yours last night. If you get a chance read it. It's the one with the big 575 Versatile pulling a 64 foot chisel on Young's down by Seymour Texas

😎😎

[@hedge685]

That looks like an extremely heavy lime application, but I'm sure they have soil tests and know what they are doing.

[@scramble7673]

How much lime is used per field, I'm not a farmer.

[@joeyheatherjosephprice1520]

Depends on soil analysis. Could be 1000lb per acre up to 3-4 ton per acre depending on soil PH. Target level is around the 6.5 - 7.0 mark.

[@christianhollauer881]

already chopped in 2023?

[@farmhandmike]

Yes Last week
