Thank you everybody for your input on lime. I have talked to farmers near me and 40 miles away. It looks like I may find what I need there. Will still need to study more on cation exchange, mineral balances, etc.

Someone mentioned Boron. My soil test said I was deficient and my extension agent said I needed 3 pounds per acre. I located a 50# bag of Solubor and used just a few pounds diluted in the sprayer on the 4-wheeler. I don't think I got toxicity, but was careful not to go over the recommendation. I will probably recheck soil Boron this year.
