1. 1. "Agricultural liming material" means a product whose calcium and magnesium compounds are capable of neutralizing soil acidity;
2. 2. "Brand" means the term, designation, trademark, product name or other specific designation under which an individual agricultural liming material is offered for sale;
3. 3. "Bulk" means liquid or solid liming material in a nonpackaged form;
4. 4. "Burnt lime" means a material made from limestone which consists essentially of calcium oxide or a combination of calcium oxide with magnesium oxide;
5. 5. "Calcium Carbonate Equivalent" (CCE) means the acid neutralizing capacity of an agricultural liming material expressed as weight percentage of calcium carbonate;
6. 6. "Effective Calcium Carbonate Equivalent" (ECCE) is the percent of calcium carbonate equivalent (CCE) multiplied by the "fineness factor";
7. 7. "Fineness" means the percentage by weight of the material which will pass U.S. standard sieves of specified sizes. The State Board of Agriculture shall promulgate rules relating to fineness and shall be guided by the American Society for Testing Materials specification for sieve sizes;
8. 8. "Fineness factor" is the degree of fineness of the liming material used and shall be determined as prescribed under rules;
9. 9. "Hydrated lime" means a material made from burnt lime which consists essentially of calcium hydroxide or a combination of calcium hydroxide with magnesium oxide and/or magnesium hydroxide;

11. 11. "Label" means any written or printed matter on or attached to the package or on the delivery ticket or invoice which accompanies bulk shipments;
12. 12. "Limestone" means a material consisting essentially of calcium carbonate or a combination of calcium carbonate with magnesium carbonate capable of neutralizing soil acidity;
13. 13. "Marl" means a granular or loosely consolidated earthy material composed largely of sea shell fragments and calcium carbonate;
14. 14. "Percent" or "percentage" means by weight;
15. 15. "Person" includes any individual, partnership, association, company, firm, corporation, manufacturer, distributor, organized group of persons whether or not incorporated, or any other legal entity;
