Local Soil Tests Hint at 1930s Lime and Road History
Dinwiddie County Virginia farmer extension agent John W. Belshaw learnt from Virginia Tech that one soil sample yielded a pH of 7.3 indicating high alkalinity. Local elders linked this to lime truck shipments in the 1930s and to highway routing with lime underlay to combat freeze thaw. Subsequent samples showed 5.9 to 6.3 pH, supporting a historic explanation for the first site’s sweetness.
