How much does agricultural lime cost per tonne in Australia?+
Bulk pasture-grade ag lime (CCE 95%+) typically costs $50-110 per tonne ex-GST depending on location, fineness and load size. Dolomite and gypsum sit in similar ranges. Many suppliers offer spreader hire or a spread-on-paddock service for an additional fee. MaterialSales lists each supplier's live ex-GST price.
How much lime do I need per hectare?+
Application rates depend on soil pH and target crop. A typical pasture maintenance dressing is 1.0-2.5 tonnes per hectare; correcting acidic soils may need 2.5-5 t/ha or more, applied over multiple years. Get a soil test first — your ag agronomist will recommend rate and timing.
Can I buy lucerne or oaten hay direct from the grower?+
Yes — MaterialSales lists hay direct from Australian growers. Lucerne, oaten, grass and cereal hay in small squares, large squares (8×4×3) and round bales, often barn-stored. Search by your town; growers within delivery range are surfaced with live per-bale or per-tonne pricing.
