My dad says he has an old Deere grain drill with all the blades and crap removed that they used to use as basically a drop seeder. It’s almost identical to this one, but smaller. Do you think it would work for ag lime?

Local Extension Agent told a buddy of mine, pelletized lime, commonly known around here as quick lime, is pretty much good for one year. Where as Ag lime will last approx. 5 years. It will reach it's peak at neutralizing @ between 2-3 years. When I questioned the agent about it, he told be to apply the suggested rate, then in 3 years, apply it at half the rate, and it should be near the suggested amount to keep it at that level.
