It’s not fertilizer but rather ph regulator, used to raise the ph of the soil as the breakdown of organic matter builds up acidity. I can’t speak for these guys but our operation does them about every 7 years or so.
@@farmhandmike ok that's what I thought you said. I made a comment on a older post of yours last night. If you get a chance read it. It's the one with the big 575 Versatile pulling a 64 foot chisel on Young's down by Seymour Texas

Interesting that they follow the rows when ripping. Typically, you see them on a slight diagonal from straight on the rows.
I like Mike less videos on UA-cam from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
That looks like an extremely heavy lime application, but I'm sure they have soil tests and know what they are doing.

What type of fertilizer is lime? I don’t typically see it used as commonly as phosphorus or any other fertilizers.

Mike is this farmer a dairyman or does this farm just raise the corn and sale it to the dairy for sileage?
This farm here grows some corn for the dairy.

How much lime is used per field, I'm not a farmer.
Depends on soil analysis. Could be 1000lb per acre up to 3-4 ton per acre depending on soil PH. Target level is around the 6.5 - 7.0 mark.
already chopped in 2023?
Yes Last week
