2019 Texas Ag Custom Rates Report now available

Source: Texas Ag Law Blog | May 6, 2019

Have you ever wondered what the going rate is in your area for custom farm work like hauling hay or harvesting wheat? The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Ag Economics Unit has a helpful publication, The 2018 Texas Agricultural Custom Rates Report, which is now available.

This report is based on survey responses gathered from farmers, ranchers, and other landowners across Texas. The report divides Texas into four quadrants and then provides survey results for each. The type of work included in the survey ranges from tractor rental to application of fertilizer and chemicals to harvesting to hay hauling, farm and ranch improvements to cattle hauling.

If you’re curious what common rates are in your area, check out the report by clicking here. (PDF download)

The Texas Ag Law Blog at agrilife.org/texasaglaw by Tiffany Dowell Lashmet, assistant professor and Extension specialist in agricultural Law with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, is an outreach project of the Texas Agrilife Extension Service with the goal of keeping producers and landowners up to date on various legal issues impacting Texas agriculture. Topics include water law, oil and gas law, leasing, property rights, right to farm statutes, and dealing with animal rights activists.
