and make your soil more productive.
As you know, every crop makes your soil
more deficient in certain minerals, .which, if
not replaced by liming, will cause poor crop
production and unhealthy livestock.
To meet this condition, you should have
your soil tested periodically to determine if
your soil needs lime and the amount needed.
