Agricultural Lime (Aglime) for Indiana Farmers
South Lake Stone supplies agricultural lime, also called aglime, for Indiana farmers, ag operators, and land managers. Our aglime is produced at our INDOT-approved Hebron, Indiana facility and is delivered throughout Lake County, Porter County, Jasper County, and the surrounding northwest Indiana region.
Aglime, Explained
Agricultural lime is finely ground limestone applied to soil to neutralize soil acidity and raise pH. Most Indiana row-crop soils gradually acidify over time as a result of fertilizer use, plant uptake, and natural weathering. Lower pH reduces nutrient availability and limits crop yield, even when fertility programs look strong on paper.
Applying aglime brings soil pH back into the optimal range, which improves nutrient availability, microbial activity, and root development. For Indiana corn and soybean operations in particular, maintaining proper soil pH is one of the most cost-effective inputs available.
Why Apply Aglime
- Neutralizes soil acidity and raises pH into the optimal crop range
- Improves nutrient availability, especially phosphorus, potassium, and key micronutrients
- Supports beneficial soil microbial activity
- Improves soil structure over time
- Increases the return on existing fertility investments
- Long-lasting effect, typically measured in years per application
Quality Aglime, Reliable Supply
- Consistent particle size for predictable spreading and reaction in the soil
- Reliable supply from a local Indiana quarry, with reduced freight cost compared to out-of-region sources
- Ag-focused service from a team that understands seasonal demand and field-readiness windows
