What happens here
The farmer explains the importance of soil pH for nutrient absorption, stating that even with nutrients present, plants cannot access them if the pH is incorrect. He mentions adding calcium (Cal-U-Cal) and lime to sweeten the land and correct the pH. He then introduces the plan to use an ATV for spreading grass seeds ahead of an upcoming cold and rainy period, which is ideal for germination.
Goal: Prepare for grass seeding by understanding soil pH and favorable weather conditions.
