What is Agricultural Limestone in Illinois?
Agricultural limestone Illinois — commonly called aglime — is a pulverized or crushed limestone product applied to cropland to neutralize soil acidity and raise soil pH. The primary active component is calcium carbonate, which increases the pH of acidic soil, reduces soil acidity, and provides a source of calcium for plants. In Illinois, soil acidity is a common challenge across the agricultural regions of Ogle and surrounding counties, where years of cropping and nitrogen fertilizer applications can deplete soil pH over time. The Illinois Department of Agriculture Voluntary Limestone Program publishes an annual booklet indexing approved Illinois limestone sources by their Effective Neutralizing Power (ENP), helping farmers select the right product for their specific soil test recommendations. Buyers should request ENP documentation from the seller and reference their most recent soil test before calculating application rates.
