As you may recall, a year ago I posted information on the new process of developing the Purdue custom farming rate publication, EC-130 - Indiana Farm Custom Rates. A new custom rate survey had been developed and was being distributed to farmers throughout the state via Extension-sponsored events. The intent was to improve the quantity and quality of the data and improve the publication, with the hope of updating it each year. Well, the effort was successful - 272 responses were received from 36 Indiana counties - and the new custom rate survey was released in early-2012.
The data collection has begun for the 2013 publication and the new survey is available. If you do custom work or hire custom work done on your farm and would be willing share the rates you charge and/or pay, please consider filling out the survey. All data collected is voluntary and anonymous. See the link below for the survey:
