Nitrogen fertilizers acidify no-tillers' soil, so understanding lime needs can help maximize yields by reducing soil acidity, increasing biological life and improving nutrient uptake.
Growing — even in climates with a cold winter — is less about seasons and more about keeping the water, nutrient and carbon cycles turning to your advantage.
After crops are harvested, fall is a good time to apply lime. While lime can be applied any time, ideally, the soil should be dry to allow good spreading with out rutting up a field. Here are some tips for fall lime spreading.
Neal Kinsey breaks down real soil test reports, offers recommendations for correcting nutrient imbalances and adds what no-tillers should consider with their own soil test results.

With higher fertilizer prices, it appears that many no-tillers are taking a closer look at how nutrients other than nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can help keep no-till soybean yields at a high level.
One of the fertilizer recommendation philosophy is based on an ideal ratio of soil cations. Another is based simply on the levels of these cations available in soil.
Year after year, fertilizer is the big gorilla in the room when it comes to farm expenditures. In 2014, the readers of No-Till Farmer spent an average of $85,513 per farm to feed their crops — far outpacing the average of $69,732 spent on average, per farm, for land rent.
University of Kentucky Ag Extension explains what agricultural lime is, how it works and why some of these lime "alternatives" aren't going to affect soil pH.
