Limestone Program
The soils of Newfoundland and Labrador are naturally acidic and require the addition of agricultural limestone to neutralize soil acid, which can improve the efficiency of fertilizers needed for plant growth and enhance soil productivity. The increased efficiency of fertilizer through the application of limestone reduces the amount of fertilizers applied to agricultural land, thereby resulting in increased production, financial savings to farmers and reduced risk of agricultural non-point source pollution to surface and ground water. Limestone is used by most agricultural commodities in the province.
