Is Your Soil Health Holding You Back?
Helping our local farmers helps us all. So we are creating a partnership between farmers and Idaho Lime to evaluate soil acidity and lime performance under real Inland Northwest farming conditions.
This program focuses on local soils, real fields, and practical results — not small-plot research.
Soil Health Challenge
Why We Are Doing This
Many farms in the region face:
-
Low soil pH
-
Aluminum toxicity (especially in pulse crops)
-
Reduced fertilizer efficiency
-
Challenges in no-till and reduced-till systems
The Soil Health Challenge helps answer one question: Does lime make sense on your ground?
