Lime for land shows value for Iowa soils
An Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station study across 75 fields over four years proves lime raises yields where soils are both high and low in acidity. When combined with manure, lime increased clover, corn, and oats yields. high acidity soils benefited more. In 28 counties covering about 10 million acres, only 11 percent need no lime, 22 percent need up to one ton per acre, 51 percent need one to three tons, and 15 percent need over three tons to reach good soil condition.
