AGRICULTURAL LIMESTONE PROGRAM

The Limestone Inspection Program provides analysis of agricultural grade limestone.  Limestone is used as a neutralizing agent for soil acidity and is tested in the latter parts of summer and winter so results are available before the spring and fall dustings. 

Samples are laboratory tested for particle fineness and their Calcium Carbonate Equivalent (CCE).  Any owner who conducts a business for the purpose of offering or exposing limestone for sale, must be licensed with the Kentucky Department of Agriculture annually.
