WISCONSIN'S 2004 CUSTOM RATE GUIDE

Transcription

1 Wisconsin Agricultural Statistics Service WISONSIN'S 2004 USTOM RATE GUIDE GENERAL: As part of an on-going cooperative arrangement with the agriculture industry, the Wisconsin Agricultural Statistics Service periodically conducts a ustom Rates Survey. The previous report covered 2001 rates. This 2004 summary is a result of a mail survey which collected rates paid by farmers for custom work performed in The figures are based on reports by: farmers who hire custom work, custom operators and farmers who perform work, and machinery dealers who rent out equipment. Over 1,300 reports were compiled. Most of the rates in this release include the cost of hiring the machine with fuel and operator, but exclude the cost of any materials. No attempt was made to distinguish between rates charged by custom operators who perform these operations as their main source of income, and those who occasionally do custom work as a sideline. Rates charged by custom operators and implement dealers were more likely to be on the higher end of the range. This summary makes no effort to evaluate fairness of rates being charged. DATA: Included in this report are average rates and typical ranges for those. The data shown in this release can be used as a guide in making management decisions. The rates and ranges in this release are based on actual reported data and should not be viewed as official estimates. s are provided for each custom operation since there are many factors that can cause variations in the average rates. Rates are influenced by the availability of equipment, fuel expenses, soil conditions, topography, field shape and size, traditional practices in an area, and type, size and age of equipment. Reports were edited to remove items for which the respondent s figures were widely outside the range of other respondent s replies. In some cases, follow-up calls were made to determine the validity of a particular rate. ertain items may have appeared on the questionnaire but were not summarized due to an insufficient number of responses. Price changes for machinery, fuel, and labor should be taken into account when using this 2004 data for subsequent years. DISTRIT and REGIONAL DATA: Every effort was made to publish summarized items beyond. Depending upon the number of reports received, some data was published on either a District or Region level. The District breakouts follow the typical Agricultural Statistics Districts used routinely by the Wisconsin Agricultural Statistics Service. The Region breakout combines Agricultural Statistics Districts based on similar topography and farming practices. Please refer to figures 1 and 2 to determine which District or Region your operation falls in.
