Idaho lime calculation is coming soon

Idaho's publication is mapped and cited, but its exact calculation method is still staged and is not live in Zone Forge yet. WSU FS398E p.3 does not establish this SMP calibration for Idaho. Use a laboratory lime recommendation for your field. For a rate today, use the recommendation on your current soil-lab report or ask your local Extension office.
