Would adding ag-lime to my red clay soil be beneficial, or just cause it

to
turn into brick?
Thanks in advance,

Neither. Lime does nothing to the texture of soil. It only adjusts the pH.
You need to add lots and LOTS of organic matter. Getting a soil test would
also tell you if lime would be beneficial in adjusting your pH upwards.
