Liming pays off in healthier soil, better crops, stronger and more productive animals. In fact, it has been estimated that each $1 invested in limestone returns from $3 to $lO in bigger and better yields. Baker's agricultural limestone pays off best because it does more. Baker’s ag-lime sweetens soil to reduce acidity and raise pH level. It also adds vital magnesium. Both are important to make sure that your crops can make full use of the fertilizers you apply. Take care of your land, and your land will take care of you. Choose the brand of Baker’s agricultural limestone that meets your needs best. • "Conestoga Valley" balanced limestone from our Ephrata quarry • "Prime Lime" dolomite limestone from our Gap quarry • "Hy-Mag" limestone from our Paradise quarry CHEM GRO FERTILIZER East Petersburg 569-3296 FISHER & SON, INC, Malvern 644-3300 MARTINS FOWL’S FEEDMILL, INC.
