This was truly interesting. First I never knew about this quarry and secondly I had absolutely no idea just how important lime is to our society. Thank you so much for sharing this!
My pleasure. It one of those things we either arn{t aware of, or just take for granted. So glad you enjoyed this one!!
RealUnitedStatesVlog Ive been there
As someone who hauls lime over very long distances in Australia I can say it's extremely important.
I did not know they use lime rock in making sugar, thank you sir .
Well, they do when processing sugar from sugar beets. I worked in a sugar refinery one season back in the late 70s, and years later actually published a cover story feature article about the process in Biology Digest. Glad you enjoyed this episode. Thanks! Paul
Why do i feel like i have seen this before but i havent
Don't know why it seems familiar to you. Perhaps another video, or news story or something from a textbook. Impossible to say.
I did not know that Rogers City was the biggest! Thanks Paul and Bev.
Yeah, it{s kind of an odd claim to fame, until you stop and think about how many thing limestone is used for.
Great job my dear friend Paul...! 😀 nice to see you both on road again! a beautiful lake and great weather Greetings.LIKE#23👍
Thank you so much Ettore! t was nice to get away for a couple of days and shoot a lot of video. We were very lucky to get some very nice weather and great light.
Using for limestone for sugar is a new to me.
Thats cool.
Hey
Harvey, I think that most of the sugar manufacturing is largely on the east side of the state, so it seems more commonplace to me having grown up over there. Glad we could bring you something new though. Thanks!
Good to see you out and about again in Michigan in early autumn ! Yes, limestone is essential to modern life, ever since the iron age.
Thanks so much! In a perfect world, if the cannel takes off, I would be out and about all over the country. In the interim, we do the best we can.
You mentioned chicken feed...lime which the chickens reconstitute into 'packaging' for ALL the yolk and egg-white we enjoy in life! Something like 2 grams of calcium carbonate ("lime") in each shell a hen produces!
Loved your style-of-delivery: an affable, easy-going banter; you've been around a while, and have paid attention to your circumstances...I'd follow you anywhere!
Thank you. You are very kind. I enjoyed making this one. We had heard about it for years, but this was the first time seeing it in person.
@@Realunitedstates , you've got me looking forward to doing the same thing THIS year! Thanks again!
I know about these in cleburne, tx state park....and also lot of cement factories nearby
thanks for sharing
I grew up in SW Michigan a long time ago and the facade on the home that my father built was limestone. He bought it in 8"x8"x8' and 4"x4"x8' slabs with varying colors to them. He built a swing-arm saw and used a diamond blade to cut the pieces to the desired length. Then he "faced" each piece. It was a beautiful home and is actually still there 66 yrs later. I believe that limestone came from a quarry in northern Indiana, maybe Indianapolis area. Lots of homes then had limestone facade's. Do you know if people still use it on homes, I live on the West coast now so I have no idea. Thank you for a great and informative video. You should be a professional narrator, you speak so perfectly with no mistakes. I look forward to more of your videos. Have a nice day.
Thank you for the very kind comments. I don't know of any new construction in limestone, as most of it is only face-stone. But just because I don't know of it, does not mean it isn't necessarily happening.
It’s used as brick or cement block today in Texas and has been used for a long time.
@@Realunitedstates You are correct of course, I should have said he used it as the face or facade.
Was just here the other day photographing the ships. Summer time is the heart of limestone season for Great Lakes shipping. The freighters come into calcite very often still today. One of the busier limestone ports up north along with Port Dolomite and Port Inland.
Sounds great!
I work in a limestone quarry in SW Mo. It also has a huge role in glass, dog food, roof shingles and many other products.
It is surprising how many different and widely varied things use limestone in one way or the other in their manufacturer. It is one of those things that most people simply are not aware of how useful and prevalent it is. Thanks for sharing! Paul
His observation tower looks like old gantry steps that were repurposed for tourists to take pictures without the fence in the way. Interesting place to visit.
Well, it is an interesting place to visit.
How they use limestone for auger mill I didn't understood haha cause I m zero in science but I enjoyed the lake and beautiful place nice video thanks Mr Paul and madam bev wish you happy always
Thank you Zia. I suppose as an engineer I do sometimes take things for granted without explaining them in great detail. Sorry about that. The important take-away here is how many different things limestone is used for, from food manufacturing to concrete, from steel manufacturing to agriculture, it is extremely useful, and this is the largest production in the world!
Came across this video researching how to sell limestone. (Not much on that.) There was a lot of info that I may be able to use in my search though - and not even done watching it!
Anyone know if there are brokers in the limestone world?
It's actually an interesting question. While I don't have a specific answer, given that it is a commodity used in enormous quantities there certainly is a market for it. Assuming you have a significant quantity to market, I would start by inquiring with commodity brokers, such as the ones trading agricultural commodities on the Chicago Board of Trade. Even if they don't deal in your commodity they may be able to give you some insight toward someone who does. Hope that helps.
@@Realunitedstates Really appreciate your thoughtful answer! I'll see what I get looking around here in KS. 🌻
good video
Thank you. I remember the day we made this and it was really a beautiful day for videoing. So glad you enjoyed it.
I prefer lemon-limestone. It's tastier!
Sure. Why not.

It seems like perhaps your comment got truncated, but thanks just the same.
