Michigan does not rank ag limestone into different categories based on fineness of grind. The only area that fineness of grind affects Michigan producers is for growers that participate in the agricultural conservation programs. Michigan ASCS requires ground limestone to have a neutralizing value (CCE) of at least 80% with 85% of the material passing through an 8-mesh sieve and 25% passing through a 100-mesh sieve.

Wisconsin does not rank ag limestone into different categories based on fineness of grind. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture has established index zones that the different liming materials are classified into. This is called the neutralizing value which takes into consideration the fineness of grind and the calcium carbonate equivalent.
