St. Charles, MO & Piper City, IL | The fly ash I hauled back in the 90’s out of ADM in Decatur IL was derived from Coal and Ag Lime burnt together. They did this to be able to burn low sulfer & high sulfur IL coal, tires and coke. It could never meet EPA specs with all the metals for spreading in crop. Even the good calcium sulfate is not meeting EPA specs today and is going to landfill or concrete.
A few guys spread the courser pit ash as it handled like lime until it got wet. Never really seemed to gain anything from it. The fly ash flowed like water and had to be loaded through small doors in your tarp. It did help building a road bed.
ADM was forced to haul it to landfills and back to coal mine where they added water and pumped it back into the abandoned shafts.

Does Fly Ash work like Lime?
