Reliable lime products for healthy soils in Kyneton

Kyneton sits in the fertile Macedon Ranges region of Central Victoria, known for its cool climate and strong agricultural base. The area supports beef and sheep grazing, broadacre cropping, and small-scale horticulture — all backed by reliable rainfall and a history of sustainable land management.

Despite the region’s advantages, soil acidity and structural decline remain key challenges, especially in long-farmed or pasture-improved paddocks. Many local farmers are now focusing on soil inputs that restore balance and drive long-term productivity.

Why lime is vital for Kyneton soils

Across the Kyneton region, soils tend to be loam to clay loam — productive but prone to acidification due to fertiliser use, grazing intensity and rainfall leaching. When soil pH declines, nutrient uptake becomes restricted, impacting plant health, pasture density and fertiliser effectiveness.

Agricultural lime corrects these imbalances by lifting pH, increasing the availability of phosphorus and calcium, and encouraging stronger root development. In mixed farming areas like Kyneton, lime supports pasture longevity and more reliable crop yields across changing seasonal conditions.

According to Agriculture Victoria, liming can improve paddock performance by up to 20 per cent when used alongside sound nutrient planning — a practical way to protect returns on input investments.
