Lime & Fertilizer Application for Tupelo Pastures

Professional fertilizer application ensures Lee County pastures receive soil-test-prescribed rates with even distribution. Tri‑State Livestock LLC. uses calibrated equipment and experienced operators, translating soil test recommendations into field results that boost productivity without wasted inputs.

Services We Provide

Lime Application

Most Tupelo-area pastures need lime to correct inherited acidity. We apply agricultural limestone at prescribed rates (1–4 tons per acre), ensuring even coverage. Applications timed for late summer through fall allow winter moisture to move lime into root zones before spring growth.

N-P-K Fertilizer Spreading

We apply granular blends based on soil tests and forage goals. Nitrogen timing follows growth patterns—split applications on bermudagrass (May, July, late August), single spring application on fescue. Phosphorus and potassium applied fall or early spring.

Why Professional Application Matters

Uncalibrated spreaders create striping—double rates in some passes, gaps in others. Wrong timing (nitrogen before drought, lime to frozen ground) reduces effectiveness. Our service ensures recommendations become reality with proper rates and timing.

Tupelo Application Pricing

Spreading service typically runs $12–$18 per acre depending on field size and access. Product costs (lime, fertilizer) billed at current market rates. We coordinate delivery from Tupelo-area suppliers or work with products you've purchased.

Timing Recommendations

• Lime: August–November for winter incorporation
• Nitrogen (bermudagrass): May, July, late August when actively growing
• P & K: October–March, often coordinated with lime

Field Access Requirements

Need reasonable access—gated entrances, dry conditions (2–3 days post-rain for Lee County clay content). We assess conditions before scheduling to protect pastures from compaction and rutting.
