EC Nebraska | That last one is starving for both calcium and magnesium. The rest are pretty hungry for magnesium. A couple hundred pounds of pel lime wouldn't hurt anything on any of the samples, and the last two are the ones that could really use 1-2 tons of dolomitic lime. Really, if you're gonna run ag lime on these it would be best to get dolomitic lime on all of them. 1 ton might be enough on the top samples with the better calcium saturations, 2 ton on the low calcium samples. What kinds of lime do you have available in your area? If you can't get dolomite, can you get K-Mag? It might be such a thing where you just need to run 100-150 lbs of K-Mag every spring. If you can only get calcitic lime, use that to bring the pH up and use the K-Mag to supply magnesium and potash.
What are typical ag lime rates in your area? How much ag lime would you have had the coop put on if they had gotten to you this year?
