Subject: Re: Custom farming?


Somerville, Indiana
It is not a good practice to sell yourself short, it will become a habit enjoyed by many others if you let that happen...The university figures are only a yardstick on machinery costs, your job will be to figure what your cost of operation and profit add up to...Cost to charge is one of the hardest things to come up with when doing custom work, then there is the never ending cost of replacement that keeps raising.

You don't necessarily need to charge for it, but there is also the cost of lost opportunity...There may be a better place for your labor and knowledge than running your equipment over unknown farms and roads, dealing with neighbors (actually may not be neighbors but just people how live close) who will not appreciate what you are doing for the farmer they do not necessarily have a great love for.
