Spreading/Applying Lime

Anonymous-0 · Jan 9, 2012

Does anyone have a good estimate on the cost to apply 3 tons of lime per acre to NE Missouri farmland? This would be for both the lime and the application.
Thanks,

Well We have finally found something that is not competive here in Tennesse. With all the low taxes and cheap fuel..Line is & $ 7.65 at the quary, $7.50 to get it moved to farm and about $ 6 to 7 dollars to get it spread.. We run for the neighbors at $ 21.00 a ton and don,t want to do anymore than what we have to. Keep the truck for our own use. Figure at the $ 21.00 I am just barley breaking even.

At our local Southern States Coop spread is $49 a ton.

A year ago it was $55.00 a ton dumped in the yard here. You need to call where ever you are buying it because most of the cost is in the trucking.

If you have them bring it in from Chehalis,on a B train tanker, and have them spread it, I could get 24 ton, at $60.00 a ton, or about $1500.00, and that is 3ton per acre. However they won't do it for me, being as the Wilco represenative, looked at my place and said that his driver, couldn't turn his B-train around in our deadend road system, so I don't get any lime! I guess he never heard of breaking a B-train down! Oh Well! you can't make them sell if they don't want to!Oh by the way this is western Washington.
