Pelletized lime. Disk in or leave on surface?

This is my first time applying lime to food plots. I’ve always planted food plots in the fall but decided to make the best food plots I can and started with a soil sample. I got pelletized because two of my plots are on small wooded roads.
Do I just spread the lime and leave on surface or spread them disc in?

It would be best to disc it in asap assuming your going to plant a fall plot in mid October. It really needs several months prior to get to work. I’m guessing you based your calculations on pellets not bulk lime.
We typically spread pellets every other year but we don’t have real acidic soil.

If you're planning to plant before fall and not using a liquid you need to put it underground.

This lime is in preparation for fall planting in September

If you live somewhere that gets rain on the reg, it doesn’t matter. Lime is a long term deal. Long term enough that disking now or rain incorporation in the next couple weeks won’t make much of a difference.

Would be best to disk it in. Will begin to work quicker and more thoroughly through out the soil profile.
And yes, applying lime has long term impacts … depending on the quality of lime.
I would suggest to buy a simple ph soil probe and check the plots in a handful of spots.
Verifying soil ph could save you some $$ by determining if it’s even necessary.

I’ve already had a full analysis done on composite samples from each plot
