Gypsum and Hi Calcium Lime Application
Side by Side Comparison
This video was taken after 1.2" of rain on wet soil. The first field has had Gypsum and Hi-Calcium lime applications and cover crops. Prior to these practices it was in worse condition than the others.
Harvesting the Benefits
of Gypsum and Hi Calcium Lime
Better yields
Calicum is a key nutrient for plant health and improves nutrient uptake
Improved aeration
Naturally aerates compacted soils and improves drainage
Gypsum is 200 X more soluble than lime alone
Gypsum provides essential soluble calcium and sulfur to the soil
Improved soil health
Reduced soil erosion and phosphorus runoff
Helps soil achieve the desired 7:1 Ca:Mg balance
Improved soil tilth
Soil balance of aggregated soil particles, moisture content, degree of aeration, rate of water infiltration, and improves drainage
Improved root penetration and water infiltration
Flocuates soil for easier root growth and improved nutrient uptake
More air, more water, and better aggregated soil
Fast
Applies easily and starts working quickly with results seen in first year of application
Compare Us vs Others
We store gypsum inside
- Gypsum stays dry for best possible spread pattern
- Moisture content consistent, doesn't gain weight from rain
- We have capacity to store 6,000 tons of gypsum inside and out of the rain
They pile in your field
- Time is wasted
- Product is lost loading out of and cleaning up piles
We leave a minimal footprint on your soil
- Gypsum delivered in belt trailers loaded directly to applicator with belt conveyor
- No pile, no lost product, least possible compaction
They compact your soil
- Compacted soil in area where loaded trucks dump, turn, and a loader fills applicator
- Soil is compacted
We don't leave piles in your field
- Less waste and clean up
- More efficient application
- Double spread for even coverage
They store gypsum outside
- Exposed to weather rain/freeze that affects how the gypsum spreads
- Swells as moisture adds weight to pile changing moisture percentage of product
We offer less compaction
- No heavy loader or semi trailers
- Lightweight conveyor
- Floater moves faster across the field
Owners are directly involved
- Operate the spreader
- Meet with farmers and land owners
- Move the conveyer
- Drive the trucks
