Subject: dolimitic lime



Hello folks,

in a recent post, Soil-life wrote "DOLOMITE should seldom be used for Agricultural soil applications. ONLY in specific and Limited areas."

I have a couple of questions:

Are any of you farming soils with > 25% Mg saturation that produce high yields and have excellent physical properties?

How many of you have actually had the %Mg saturation in your soils increase significantly through the addition of adding agronomic rates of dolomitic lime?

My impression is that there are many soils with significantly higher than 25% Mg saturation that perform very well without any special fertility management **and** that there are many soils that receive dolomitic lime every few years without the Mg saturation ever increasing significantly.
