If you are excited to see this picture, you must be a farmer. (Or else under the age of 10. The kids think it looks like something that would be fun to climb on.)
We were excited to see the lime! It is so important to keep the pH of the soils from getting too low. Low pH reduces the availability of the good nutrients and increases the availability of the "bad" ones. The lime is used to neutralize the soils, bringing the pH up to a level the crops prefer, somewhere in the slightly acidic range.
Quentin was able to have most of the lime spread last week. It has been windy off and on so spreading the last of the lime and fertilizer has been off and on. Mostly, the men have been smoothing ruts and terraces the last few days.
