CPS in Jay FL just quoted me a price of 60 dollars a ton with a buggy. That’s not even economical in the real world. Tell Justin he’s too high. Jay, FL ain't exactly in the real world, though. Different universe right there.

I need someone or name of a coop that will spread lime outside of Greenville. Any information will be appreciated. Local place in town will not spread.

It is fairly high but it's almost $200 cheaper than if I was going to buy the bags. And my pH is still out of whack hardly nothing grew last year. If anybody's got a better price or option I'm all ears.

If anybody's got a better price or option I'm all ears. Dump an extra 25% of fertilizer on your fields at planting time. My pH in Alabama is around 5.0 and we can grow corn and good food plots. A 50 lb sack of fertilizer is about $10. If the areas you plant are reasonably small, just fertilize more.

Get somebody with a dump truck to go get a load of lime and dump it in a central area and use a buggy and a front end loader to spread it yourself.

I like the dump truck idea. But I would think unless you got a friend to do it the cost would be comparable to letting the Lime company come dump it.

I just called out local co-op, they have ag lime delivered and spread for around $35/ton. The buggy i also available for rent. I think it was around $7/ton for use.
It is what it is.
Inspect what you Expect.

I wanted to share in case anybody looking. G&d Farms on Tanner Williams Road has lime for $58 on the ton and that includes the buggy. Best price I have found yet down here.

I have acquired a John Deere drop spreader. 10 ft. Plan to use on small plots. Anyone ever used one and if so, how well did it work?

Drop spreaders and lime go together like peanut butter and jelly. A clean, flat field freshly drop spread is a purty sight. Just don't tear it up getting it to your plots.

Question I just had a torn labrum repaired and bone spur removed from my right shoulder. I did not get to apply lime
and it's going to be months before I can. Is there a quick method of any kind such as a so called liquid lime. I believe it takes 4
-6 months for it to start . And is there a better liquid lime or something than others.Or should I just put down fertilizer and hope for the best.

Liquid lime=snake oil. If you can’t get pel lime or Ag lime out I’d for go for spring plantings as of now

Wasn't sure can't get to plots with a buggy or a co- op type spreader. And I know I can't shovel it out of front end bucket or
even pick up a bag for awhile . These are some secluded spots that I can get my ranger to and just thought
may give the liquid stuff a shot.
