cosmos05 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Hi I pay the following per acre. Rent. £200 Ploughing. £40 Drilling and rolling. £40 seed. £35 Spraying. £20 Then don't forget you have the cost off fertilisers and chemicals which are changing all the time, an if bought in bulk are a lot cheaper.

LiamH94 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 If you get a contractor to do it for you the costing should be as follows, well this is what we pay for our contractor to establish crops (All costs are per acre) Ploughing - £25.00 Drilling - Anything upto £25 depending on crop, eg maize is usually about £20 Rolling - £7.00 Spraying - Should be less than £10 but depends on acerage if more than 50 acres then its £2.50 an acre (Plus chemical costs) Seed costs vary again on crop type Helpful link http://www.naac.co.uk/userfiles/files/contracting%20charges%202013-14.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
