Is This Lime Any Good 

I have almost 20 years in working at a large scale quarry operation in Atlantic Canada. We have one loader operator that now has 51 years straight in operating Cat wheel loaders. This year he will turn 80 years old, operating Cat 966's up to Cat 990 loaders. Mostly digging shot rock rock and feeding crushers. I myself load out highway trucks daily with a Cat 972M. And I have been that guy way up top having to push off under a stacking conveyor. It's not as bad as it looks, and I have pushed my way from the top right down over the edge to the bottom.

Always something to learn. Happy Easter to the Pandy folks!😢🐣🐥

Sorry to hear you were sick and glad you're back. I really appreciate your channel.

Thanks Wes ! Hope the family is feeling well soon. 👍😊

Glad you are feeling better ! I enjoy your explaining to the folks about healthy soil and what makes things grow.

Aunt Beth is going to have a hell of a patch of grass.

Very informative love your videos you show the real part about farming.

Enjoyed the video Wesley! Gos bless you and your family

Great video Wes thanks for sharing glad to see you are feeling better

Hi Wes,glad you're all feeling better. I know what you are feeling,me, my wife and daughter got "the bug" and took 5 weeks to be able to breath without coughing. Thanks for making the videos!

Glad you and your family are feeling better.

Hey bloke great video as always love your channel also it is very educational which is great keep up the great work and hopefully you and your family get better plus I agree about the Toothpaste

Thank you Wes, that is super interesting about the lime, I have always wondered why you need so much more Dolomite lime to get the same response as normal lime. (particles are bigger and take longer to break down)

That's impressive lime from a general quarry.. Many places don't grind limestone as fine as that, or even sieve it as fine as that..

Good to see you up and about. I was wondering what happened to you.👍👍

Hope you and the family feel better 👍🏻

Also your personality perspective on life and work is fuckin awesome mate get well bloke and best wishes to you and your family happy Easter by the way from Dean in Australia

The moisture in that Lyme probably helps tremendously to keep it where you spread it on the field instead of a big dust bowl blowing it all over the neighbors

My grandfather always ate black cherries for gout. They (and their juice) have been proven to reduce uric acid.

Greats needs that you are getting a microphone. Live your work. And thumbs up

Good content. 👍

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Very interesting, what your saying makes a lot of sense. Since your looking to recover from deficiency the fast action should help. Since you are short of time and cash for fuel it would seem that anything you could do to increase the carrying capacity of your trailer would help. Has to be frustrating to have a trailer that’s half empty space wise. Would it be worth renting a higher capacity trailer or maybe adding a drop axel to your trailer to increase its carrying capacity if that’s even possible. If you see the guy cleaning his trailer with his feet often enough I’d probably buy him a cheap push broom and give it to him. 😂 Your time is more valuable to you than giving him a broom if he would use it.

Every time I watch your channel, I get 3 minutes of John Deere Ads about the 8R410 auto tractor. Anyways, crushed limestone, it is always best to spread it wet. Otherwise, it can just blow away, and neighbours start complaining their trucks and cars are covered in this mysterious white dust. 😊 Slaked Lime is just too fine and too alkaline. Rain washes it straight into streams and rivers, and it rots away Aluminium components. That's my opinion anyways. Glad your feeling better.

Hi from wes. Excellent explanation about lime. Out here m9st people add water just before spreading to cut down the dust. Keeps more where it is spread and out of your engine. I know of one bloke that dusted his engine in less than 100 hours even though he put in new air filters at the start.

👍👍

your vids are awesome

I enjoy your videos wes you show the good and not so good days

Good video.

Here in NE Texas we call it powder,fine,and course. Powder is like talc. Fine is like sand,Course is like whole pepper grains. I use fine mostly. Ours come from limestone quarries in the Hill Country part of Texas. Back in the day it was called poor man's fertilizer.

Nice video

I use lime lots. I used to pay for superfine now I use it as it comes out of the ground. The super fine has more surface area but even coarse lime around here is 30% fine. How dissolvable is your lime? Can you mix it with some of your soils add water and see how long it takes to change the Ph, i do test plots too, I look at soil science as a dark art and expensive at it. I ran into issues trying to change the ph to fast, took a couple of years to get back into full production. For Fertiliser Im using serpentine which has mg which I am short of. All our farms are different and your experience matters.

👍

Not picking on you about the coming back from england sick every time but it seams to be true!? It sucks i bet! Hope you all are getting better and have s good Easter!

Most dozer operators have balls of steel lol 😆

Good, Mic. The 3 F farmer, Andy has good sound most of the time.... Missed you, Dang Airplanes will make anybody sic.

Thumbs up

That guy with the straps must sing to himself "You down with OCD? Yeah, you know me!"

I had a guy on my roster who would do things like Wes described. He was a total pain and he did it on purpose, with the hopes that someone would get aggregated enough to do it for him. He was no where near stupid but he played the part so well that if a Lieutenant or Captain asked who was on patrol and it was that guy, they would literally say never mind, I’ll do it myself. And then they would! He was senior to me but when I out ranked him, he would transfer because he knew I was gonna make him do it. A task that would take anyone else 20-minutes might take him fifty. I would just keep piling on the tasks until he didn’t have a free minute the whole shift. It took almost three years before he stopped that crap.

👍🏻🍻

He does his job

I does seem you get sick after a flight, glad you and your family are better ! You've had the Volvo about a year now , what are your thoughts on it ?

Happy Easter

We use ammonium sulphate in corn and cereals,lately because of economic only part of nitrogen in ammmonium sulphate form

Wes i suffer with gout when i feel the first tingle a spoon of bi carbonated soda in water before breakfast for two mornings stops the attack tastes lousy but works for me

Balls of steel 🤜👊🤛👍💪👌

I haul lime that is mined from zinc. When it’s dry it’s a lot like baby powder. It’s like play sand at 10% moisture. You need to send a sample off for an analysis. We give an analysis sheet with every ticket. TVR Tennessee Valley Resources.

here in south africa we had a D9 dozing the coal stock pile every day out when the coal was coming quickly and then back when the plant was pulling coal

Glad you are feeling better. Sucks to be sick especially for more than about 3 days. Did that pan of lime shrink as you steamed out the moisture?

I hope you make time for some saw logs next winter.

You went to a different environment where there are different strains of viruses that your body is not accustomed to fighting so your body doesn’t have the rite antibodies built up to fight those different strains of viruses. Maybe you should try taking a maintenance antibiotic for a week or two before you go over there to help your body ready to fight off those different strains. I’m not a doctor but it just seems like if we were proactive in fighting diseases we would have fewer problems with our health. Not always do we need to use the big pharmaceutical drugs but once in while they would help us. The more natural remedies we can use the better.

I had the nose bleed sinus thing too...been sick 2 weeks yesterday with this plague. They say the cough from hell (bronchitis?) takes 4 to 5 weeks to get rid of.

I like to have some of those guinea eggs to hatch out

Hey Wes, you should give us your 2cents on this non sense going down in Oregon against all farms

I hope the Baltimore port bridge doesnt screw up and of your input deliveries. You sold corn at the top end this year.

Where are you getting your soil tests done? I'm maybe 15 mins north of you... Trying to figure out what to do with a couple of old horse pastures.

Do you have access to any water treatment lime?

The last few times I flew somewhere I got sick afterwards. The planes air systems are filthy.

Calcium I make plenty just had 200 count stones removed from my bladder n kidney. After months of hospital stays for IV antibiotics infections wouldn't stop.Drs forced urologist to operate the infections were killing me. Literally.

OLF the safety sally…. Who woulda thunk it… 🤔😉

Hey Wes, thanks for the video. I know y’all are busier than a 1 legged guy in an a$$ kickin contest. Stay safe and keep em comin

I have on part of field,s oposite sutuation. to high Ph its 7,8 to 8,2. Any idea for cost effective way to soil accidyfing.That is light siil wich have poor water capacity and drought is present in 7-8 years of 10

Your are paying for the lime by weight? then of course the mine will keep it " moist " Or is it measured/billed by the cubic yard?

Make “ok so” great again!

You might be drinking too much apple spider???

Where did the buffalo go?

Hey Wes, Mike posted on his new u tube channel "beyond the ranch" how to reach him. If you still wanted to reach him.

Wes next time you leave the country. Take air born for a week ahead of time, and the whole time you're gone. I do this every year I go to Mexico. Never come home sick. Just a suggestion.

You should have in your younger years seen in coal fields pushing in hoppers to load trains

the great escape is another good ww2 flick

you 60 frame per second camera default is normally 30 frame per second

Slaked Wes ! you couldn't Sloke your thirst could you !

Wallmart shots ???

RU-vid doesn't like you. I watch and like all your videos, but you are always way down in my new videos to watch. almost like they want me to search for you.
