Ohio Farm Custom Rates – 2006
Barry Ward
Leader Production Business Management
Agricultural, Environmental and Development Economics
Many Ohio farmers hire custom farm work in their farm business or perform custom farm work for others. The rates reported in this
publication are based on survey results from 277 Ohio farmers, custom operators and farm managers. The rates shown may differ
significantly by local region depending on availability of custom operators and demand for their services.
See "Farm Machinery Economic Cost Estimates" for an alternative approach to estimating custom machinery rates at:
http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/businessmanagement/DF6696... .
The "Average" rate is the average of all responses. The range is the average +/- one standard deviation which includes about twothirds
of all responses.
