The big price driver is trucking, but the trucking to get the lime to the co op if there isn't any limestone close. NA is fortunate in that respect no shortage of limestone quarries. I suspect having to truck it from long distance in LA is what gets those guys. The quarry our co op gets lime from now is about 5 miles from them.
