Farmers Lime Company Supplying Limestone for 25 Years
Monticello area farmers have relied on Farmers Lime company since 1930 to supply agricultural limestone, rock, and fill. The firm evolved from a small quarry to a full service operation with a lime-spreading truck, a ramp of equipment, and 1,400 tons daily capacity, highlighting lime’s role in correcting soil acidity and boosting crop yields through balanced soil management.
