Why farmers need to know how acidic or basic the soil is?

Acidic or basic (alkline) is measured By Ph. Every plant has an ideal Ph at which it likes to grow. It also has a range at which it will still survive. Kniwing the Ph tells the Farmer what plants will grow in a given soil. It also by implication suggests what plants will modify the ph in the process of their growtrh cycle or what soil amendment could be used to modify the soil slightly.
