I have just acquired some new ground to rent, about 60 acres. I'd like to soil sample it mostly to find the ph of the soil, but the local co-op says they can't spread lime anymore this spring as all their drivers are spreading fertilizer and spraying now that the busy planting season is upon us. So being I can't get any lime broadcast onto these fields, can I apply lime with my planter? I have a JD 7000 with dry fertilizer on it. I am looking to plant these fields into soybeans, as they were corn last year. Also, what, if any fertilizer would you place on these fields when you don't know what your dealing with as far as nutrients already in the soil?
I hate guessing like this, but I wanna do all I can to try to get a decent crop. I did have my beans treated, should I just plant and see what I get? That seems like a gamble too. I really wish I could just get some darn lime on there, but I'm not even sure it needs it. What does a guy do in a case like this?? seems either way is a gamble?
update: The co-op just called me, they are suggesting 100 lbs of lime and 100 lbs of Potash mixed and applied through my planter in row. Does this seem like a decent idea?

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
