Description

Since 1975 Alberta Agriculture & Rural Development has annually surveyed custom rates and rental rates to provide information to farmers and custom operators. This publication presents a summary of custom work and rental rates. These rates are only intended as a guide. They are not to be interpreted as the rates you must charge or pay. The goal is to report what is being charged, not what should be charged. The data presented in this report was obtained by contacting producers and custom operators and thus represent actual charges. The intent of the survey is to provide producers with additional information to help with their farm management decisions. The quality of data is dependent on the cooperation received by producers as well as commercial custom operators.
