Good Lord! The price of lime over there is staggering!!! I'm in the queue for the "Limers" to come and do my paddocks (5 acres approx.) + my neighbours (additional 10 acres) sometime this Autumn... it's whenever they're in the area. My land has been fallow for over 25 years so I'm going to have 2 tonnes per acre applied to mine. The short story is that they've roughly quoted A$75 - 80 per tonne.
Like AKfish (although not on the same scale), Tasmania is an Island State and has a transport/delivery cost from the mainland + I'm at least a 3 hr drive from the shipping port. Yet the cost of my lime sounds like they're giving it away compared to yours.
What am I missing here? The Aussie dollar is only 5 cents higher than the US$.
