The article presents advice to farmers on the selection and application of soil-sweetening lime from Agricultural Lime Association chairman Stephen Hill. He emphasizes the importance of taking a representative number of spot samples when determining the pH level of areas. He encourages growers to seek assurances about liming products. Buyers should examine the specification for the amount of inert silica in liming products prior to the purchase.
