[QUOTE="Wisconsonian, post: 7913083, member: 150618"] That spec makes more sense, 20% passing 150 micron instead of 70% for the first chart for screened limestone, a byproduct of crushing and washing lime for aggregate. Vs 40% passing for ground limestone produced specifically for ag lime. As far as I know, prilled lime is a chemical lime byproduct so as fine as possible once dissolved in water, but that doesn't mean it spreads as evenly on real ground. Easy enough to test if you don't trust Pete or the salesman or agronomist mentioned earlier. The test will give you results you can calculate costs with, if you need that to know which is a better value. The big chunks the agronomist complained about don't matter, the test didn't count them and you weren't expecting them to work immediately. You paid for and received the fine portion. [/QUOTE]
