      the agricultural liming material which provides the following
      information:
         a.  The name and address of the principal office of the
      manufacturer or distributor.
         b.  The brand or trade name of the agricultural liming

         2.  The label must be plainly readable.  If the agricultural

      the agricultural liming material shall not be false or misleading to
      the purchaser, including information relating to the quality,
      analysis, type, or composition of the agricultural liming material.
         4.  If the agricultural liming material is adulterated after it
      has been packaged, labeled, or loaded, but prior to delivery to a
      purchaser, the vendor shall provide a notice of the adulteration,
      which shall be placed on the agricultural liming material as an
      additional label as provided in this section.
         5.  For each brand of agricultural liming material sold in bulk, a
      statement shall be conspicuously posted at the location where the

      purchase orders for deliveries of the agricultural liming material
      are placed.  The statement shall include the effective calcium
      carbonate equivalent of the agricultural liming material as
      determined according to rules adopted by the department.
