I'm intrigued. I did notice two years ago when chap had a field limed near us the adjacent fields that literally had a dusting from the cloud of dust grew better than the field that had been limed up until now when I think it has swung back other way.
I seriously doubt that. Many studies were done years ago and, if I recall correctly, less than 2% of good quality ground Aglime is physically capable of blowing more than 12 metres in a 2mph breeze, or something like that.
Your field next door would need to be literally a 10m strip wide alongside your neighbour to get any benefits whatsoever from the spreaders first pass. The whole field certainly would never benefit.
I’m not saying your field didn’t grow well that year, but it wasn’t your neighbour that grew it for you.
