Any ideas on how to increase soil pH?

After years of adding sulphur to our canola fertilizer blend for seeding the soil pH has depleted (6-6.5). Ideal levels are 7-7.5. Some farmers are adding gypsum but it’s expensive and need a floater to apply. Just curious if anyone is experiencing the same and any alternative remedies.

Agree with the comments above, we use ground limestone and need to apply a few tons per acre about every 4-5 years to maintain our pH's in the mid to high 6's.
