I know this is probably the fifty thousandth time this question has been asked.
Our soil tests came back with 80lbs of Nitrogen, 80lbs of Phosporus, & 80lbs of Potassium per acre.
By my calculations: 19-19-19 calculates 9.5lbs of each per 50lb bag. So I think 80 pounds per acre comes to 8 bags of 19-19-19 per acre.
Am I correct or way off?
Also we need 2-2.5 tons of lime per acre. Anyone know of somebody to spread lime in Hickman county?

You are correct. 8 bags will give you 76 lbs of each -- close enough. :)
