Van Domselaar Farms to Be Given Much Lime
The Van Domselaar brothers near Pella plan the county’s most extreme liming. Soil tests on 31 samples from A B and Earl Van Domselaar show high acidity from continuous cropping. They bought five carloads of lime to spread before planting alfalfa and clover as manure has not eased soil conditions.
