Soil extension workers at Iowa State College advise applying limestone this fall to winter wheat ground planned for clover or alfalfa seeding next spring, with lime worked into the soil during preparation. If lime is needed for spring seedings, haul it out now. For corn ground to be seeded next spring or used for silage, fall application is suggested if ground is not plowed and lime can be spread before harrowing.
