The custom rates shown are
averages from voluntary reports
by custom operators and farm

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 condi

even the operator’s eagerness to
do custom work. Therefore, the
average rates shown should not
be considered absolute indica
tions of fair charges.
Acreage rates are shown sep

state, labeled “Mountain” and
“Valley.” The differences in rates
between regions reflect differ
ences in terrain, soils, and alter
native opportunities for the
labor and equipment used.
Figures labeled “State” repre
sent the straight average of all
reports used regardless of geo
graphic location.
Of the 72 rates reported with
year-to-year comparisons, 30
increased, 35 decreased, and
seven are the same as last year.
The overall average is down one
percent from the previous year.
This percentage decrease was
completed by adding the rates
for all jobs, regardless of basis of
charge, and dividing by last
year’s comparable total.
