1937 AAA Program Encourages Limestone on Soils
Marion County farmers spread about 15000 tons of limestone last year to aid soil building with legumes as advised by Farm Adviser Blackburn. The 1937 agricultural conservation program pays part of the cash cost for lime application with a rate of 1.25 dollars per ton for ground limestone. Illinois tests show legumes boost soil fertility and livestock feed balance, a key goal for well managed farms. Illinois has used over ten million tons since the 1900s, tracing to early applications near Edgewood Effingham county and the Morrow plots.
