I delivered one load of beans to Bellevue today and picked up a load of lime at Parkertown (Hanson Aggregates). I called all three places and here are the prices I was given over the phone:

Carey: $10.40/ton
Parkertown: $13.30
Bucyrus: $15

I chose Parkertown because it was the closest to Bellevue. I would have saved $75 by going to Carey, but would have added an hour onto my trip. Bucyrus would have been my second choice.

The Parkertown lime is definitely courser than the lime I have been using (railed in from Carey) but seems drier. Here is the analysis for all three:
