Equipment Rentals

To support conservation on working lands, our district provides landowners with access to affordable equipment rentals, reducing costs and barriers to implementing best management practices.

Equipment Available for Rent

Litter / Lime Spreader

Our spreader has the ability to spread chicken litter or lime to your land. Benefits of liming and fertilization will greatly improve forage production and soil quality.

Benefits of applying land supplements:

Poultry litter provides nitrogen (N) for forage growth, phosphorus (P) for root development, and potassium (K) for stress tolerance and stand persistence. The organic material feeds soil microbes, improving soil structure, aggregation, moisture retention, and overall biological activity. Based on soil test results, the recommended application of lime brings soil pH into the optimal range (usually 6.0–7.0), allowing plants to thrive. At proper pH, nutrients—especially phosphorus—become more available and usable by forage plants. Microbial activity increases in neutral pH soils, improving nutrient cycling and soil resilience.

Sprayer

The Saline County Conservation District has a 300-gallon sprayer available for rent.

Benefits of using a sprayer:

Using pesticides and herbicides on pastures—when applied correctly and as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach—can improve forage productivity, pasture longevity, and livestock performance.

• Controls invasive weeds
