How much is everybody paying for bulk ag lime? Planning on getting 10 tons delivered to my property

I got a load delivered to my lease last fall, it was just a hair over 26 tons and cost me $900 and change. Good luck getting less than a truck load delivered. I didn't need 26 tons, but that's what I had to buy.

From what I heard bulk powder had gone way up. I know pellet went up $3 a bag between last summer and the other day.

A lot depends on how far they need to drive and how are you planning to spread it? You need to make some calls to find the best option. A good example is Thomasville Feed,, if you need a full load, John sells you the lime and loans you the spreader. If you need a little, he keeps it on hand and charges around $350 for five tons loaded in a buggy.

I paid $35/ton delivered, but had to buy a whole dump truck load. I am probably about 15 miles from the quarry. He told me when I called him the price had gone up. I am sure its not any cheaper now.

Called my local co-op yesterday and they said $40/ ton. Planning on getting 10 tons delivered to my property, then loading the lime into a truck bed and spreading it with a leaf blower. Hopefully that will work...

It won't unless its very dry. Most all the bulk ag lime I have gotten has been damp.

I’d wade thru hell and high water to find a spreader before I went that route!

I got quoted $70 a ton delivered and spread.

6 tons, $300 delivered and spread.

$66 a ton the other day with use of the lime buggy.

What's the best price around Tuscaloosa ?? Bulk , Spread or delivered

I successfully spread 10 tons off a trailer with a good pack pack blower not much fun though

I would have loved to have been able to have watched this! I cannot imagine this working with lime, but at least I have a new idea in case I ever need to do it manually.

I wish someone would invent a 3 point hitch spreader for lime. It can be done with a regular spreader but the lime has to be super dry.

There is one.

Sides, but it ain't cheap.

Link?

I bought 8 tons yesterday from the local quarry for 13 dollars a ton. We hauled it with a dump trailer. We are going to rent a spreader to do our fields.

Reviving this thread- looking to get roughly 21 tons delivered and spread near Butler, AL. Can any of you guys who have had luck getting this done provide some contacts?
