Limestone in June 1930 boosts alfalfa in Bremer County
D D Offringa reports lime stone application by Theo Stahlhut and John Pipho shows strong alfalfa stands after liming. Tests across farms, including Eggleston, Johnson and Gambaiani, reveal lime neutralizes acidity gradually, with best results where limestone is well distributed and rainfall helps dissolution. Seeding alfalfa late August carries risk but remains possible with favorable weather.
