King City, Mo
Your ph is high because of the my and sodium....

Second issue is this is a cec of 33 which only sucks because it takes more lbs which means more $$$/acre to fix.

First goal is high calcium lime. We need more calcium to buffer that NA as well as get the Ca levels high enough to where we can leach off MG.

Yes you need K too but calcium 1st then k. Calcium is cheaper anyway so easier to start there. Need to call around to the lime suppliers and ask what's the percent ca and percent mg of their lime. If they don't know......applying it you could actually make your soil worse by adding the wrong lime.

Then start pricing Ams, gypsum, kcl and SOP. That is the building blocks to keep pushing this farm on the right path.

Your not going to fix it in a year or two but remember Rome wasn't built in a day either.
