Stories from the Paddock
Mary Valley Dairy
A Guernsey herd owner reported that his herd's hoof troubles were remedied some months after his property was limed.
Gympie Maternity Paddock
Cows close to calving were brought to a heavily limed (5 tonne/ha) paddock. Resulted in less calving difficulties and no animal health problems.
Widgee Hay Farm
Annual fertiliser program made owner envy of the district. The crop was so heavy that a new round bailer was required.
Mooloo Beef
Lime application results noted after 3 months. Stock eating the bladey grass down and leaving areas unable to be limed.
Maryborough Beef
Fertiliser program over 5 years on cleared coastal paperbark country of 800ha has given increased stocking rates through entire season. Heavy bullocks were well-finished with no grain.
Carter's Ridge Dairy
2 crops (50-tonne/ha) from 1 lime application. Question - 2nd crop larger than the first, with less fertiliser used? Answer - time was needed for the lime to be effective.
Mt Mee Dairy
Previously fertilised (but unlimed) dairy pasture revitalised with light lime application (1 tonne/ ha), giving fertiliser-like results.
Widgee small crop farmer
2 adjacent 2.5ha blocks planted at the same time. The limed block returned a good crop, the other block not harvested at all.
Goomboorian Bean Grower
Brings old ground back to life with lime application, and begins to grow profitable crops.
Kandanga Pineapple Farm
In poor condition, converted to quality cattle pasture with lime and fertiliser program that is paying dividends.
Lime/Fertiliser - it doesn't cost, it pays!
