Spreading Lime & Working Ground after the Corn Field is Chopped for Silage
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video I am out in a field that just had the corn chopped off for silage for a local dairy farm. soon after the field was harvested the farm came in and spread lime on the field then worked it into the ground in preparation for next years crop.
In the video is a John Deere 8R 310 tractor with LSW tires pulling a New Leader spreader and a John Deere 9R 590 tractor pulling a Deere 512 disk ripper.

Great video Mike 👍
That looks like an extremely heavy lime application, but I'm sure they have soil tests and know what they are doing.
Interesting that they follow the rows when ripping. Typically, you see them on a slight diagonal from straight on the rows.

What type of fertilizer is lime? I don’t typically see it used as commonly as phosphorus or any other fertilizers.

It’s not fertilizer but rather ph regulator, used to raise the ph of the soil as the breakdown of organic matter builds up acidity. I can’t speak for these guys but our operation does them about every 7 years or so.
How much lime is used per field, I'm not a farmer.

Depends on soil analysis. Could be 1000lb per acre up to 3-4 ton per acre depending on soil PH. Target level is around the 6.5 - 7.0 mark.
Mike is this farmer a dairyman or does this farm just raise the corn and sale it to the dairy for sileage?

@@farmhandmike ok that's what I thought you said. I made a comment on a older post of yours last night. If you get a chance read it. It's the one with the big 575 Versatile pulling a 64 foot chisel on Young's down by Seymour Texas
already chopped in 2023?
