Premium lime for soil improvement across Euroa farms

Euroa sits at the base of the Strathbogie Ranges in north-east Victoria and is widely recognised for its high-quality grazing and mixed farming systems. From sheep and beef production to hay, silage and rotational cropping, the district forms part of a productive corridor stretching through Violet Town, Longwood and Ruffy.

While the region benefits from moderate rainfall and undulating terrain, soil health remains a key focus for many landholders. Long-term farming practices, combined with fertiliser use and grazing pressure, have contributed to growing acidity and declining soil performance.

Why lime is essential for Euroa soils

The soils across the Euroa district are typically light to medium-textured and prone to acidification, particularly in areas that have seen ongoing fertiliser application, pasture improvement or cropping. Acidic soils can restrict the uptake of phosphorus, molybdenum and calcium, reducing pasture quality and impacting livestock growth rates.

Lime offers a cost-effective way to manage pH and improve nutrient availability. It also enhances soil biology and structure, vital for maintaining productivity in Euroa’s mixed farming systems. In both pasture and cropping paddocks, lime supports stronger root development and better moisture retention.

According to Agriculture Victoria, liming programs can improve long-term yields by up to 20 per cent, especially when integrated into broader paddock planning.
