Special limestone trains to dump lime along rail right of way
Black Hawk county farmers will receive lime via two planned special limestone trains in mid March, unloading 28 carloads along Illinois Central rails to cut hauling distance. County Agent Uban says dumping on the right of way may become common, with rail charged at 10 cents per ton for the extra service. Liming improves soil for legumes and yields, part of a coordinated soil program with the extension service and farm bureau.
