Limestone Program
The program offers agricultural limestone at a reduced rate to neutralize naturally acidic soils. This helps boost fertilizer efficiency, enhance crop yields, reduce environmental runoff, and lower input costs for producers.
Eligible funding may support:
• Purchase of agricultural-grade limestone
• Application of lime to neutralize soil acidity
• Fertility improvement projects tied to soil productivity
These activities help farmers improve crop production while reducing fertilizer use and environmental risks.
