James Meyers, assistant farm agent for Scott county, urges farmers to lime fields this fall to counter soil acidity and supply calcium for next year’s alfalfa. A soil test from the county extension office determines lime amount, and fields should be plowed before spreading and thoroughly dished to mix lime with soil. Farmers may summer fallow or use cover crops to conserve moisture and control weeds.
