Limestone mining and utilization in Missouri began in the mid 1800s. The amount mined prior to 1920 is not known for certain. Since that time, however, reliable statistics do indicate that 3.1 billion short tons of limestone having a present value of about $17.5 billion have been mined in Missouri from 1920 to present.Web

An excavator loads the loosened limestone into dump trucks for delivery to the on-site crushing plant. This continuous-feed process crushes limestone chip into a range of sizes. Limestone chip 15–50 mm in size is sent to the calcination plant, while other sizes are used in other processes. Acknowledgement: McDonald's Lime Limited. Step 3.Web
