1993 Pennsylvania Machinery Custom Rates
MACHINERY CUSTOM RATES
By Heather Buckley
Agricultural Statistician
The custom rates shown are averages from voluntary reports by custom operators
throughout Pennsylvania. Most of the rates are stated per acre, cwt., ton, bale, or bushel
rather than per hour to reduce the variation due to machinery size. Individual rates vary
due to differences in working conditions, services performed, or even the operator’s
eagerness to do custom work. Therefore, the average rates shown should not be consid
ered absolute indications of fair charges.
Average rates are shown separately for two regions of the state, labeled “Mountain”
and “Valley”. The differences in rates between regions reflect differences in terrain,
soils and alternative opportunities for the labor and equipment used. Figures labeled
“The State” represent the straight average of all reports used regardless of geographic
location.
Custom rales are slightly higher this year. Of the 68 rates reported, 60 percent have
increased, 21 percent have decreased, and the remaining 19 percent are the same as last
year. The overall average is up 2 percent from the previous year. This percentage
increase was computed by adding the rates for all jobs, regardless of basis of charge, and
dividing by last year’s comparable total.
