The pulverized limestone product has been used by farmers for centuries to correct the pH balance of their soils.
Soil acidity is a main cause of reduced productivity in farmland.
Liming encourages growth and production of crops and also helps herbicides and fertilizers work better, increasing profits and land value for the farmer. Throughout the State of Alabama, the agricultural industry has been a key source of employment for thousands of residents. Today, the Alabama Farmers Co-ops have 56 member stores with 76 outlets throughout Alabama. These stores provide products and services to their members as well as the general public. During those meetings, we have the opportunity to talk about aglime and provide the farmers a chance to ask questions.
