To ensure the proper growth of commercial plant life, 16 elements must be present in the soil. Over time, drainage and excessive farming deplete the fields of these vital elements, which include calcium, carbon, hydrogen, iron, magnesium, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur. Calcium, nitrogen, potassium and sulphur are known to dissipate most rapidly, and GYPSUM and LIME play essential roles in their replenishment.


Synthetic gypsum is produced at certain coal fired power plants as a by-product of pollution control equipment. Clean air standards require the removal or scrubbing of sulfur dioxide (SO2) from flue gasses that are generated during the burning of coal. The resulting materials are termed flue gas desulfurization (FGD) by-products.

When limestone contains a certain proportion of magnesium, it is called dolomite, or dolomitic limestone
(CaMg(CO 3)2).  In the lime or dolomite production processes, the blocks of limestone or dolomite obtained after blasting in the quarry are crushed and sorted by size in screening plants.



At Basford Ag & Turf, we supply bulk loads of LOW COST (FGD) gypsum, dolomite and hi cal lime delivered to your location throughout the southeast.  Please
