Thus, elemental Calcium can be NO more than 40!
CCE (Calcium Carbonate Equivalent) can be misleading. The CCE can be very high, which looks great, but the ag lime you’re buying could be very high in Magnesium. If your soils don’t need Magnesium, there’s no sense applying more via the ag lime you just bought. ALWAYS ask your supplier what their ELEMENTAL CALCIUM content is. Remember, as shown above, it can’t be above 40!!
