Liming Soils Practice Increasing In County
Franklin County farmers push liming to boost yields as soil testing rises and lime use grows, aided by nitrogen fertilizer acidity and conservation gains. Bozworth notes lime helps nutrient availability, with east Kansas soils needing neutralization and rainfall affecting leaching. The county records reflect advances in terraces ponds waterways and drainage while research speeds crop improvement.
