27.50 per acre and .10 to.12 to local elavators 15 miles away. Mid Missouri. Thats not enough when you try to relace a machine and they want $150000 to boot.
Here's a link that might give you some idea of how much you need to charge to remain viable. It will give you a cost per hour at the end but all you need to do is work it back $_ac or $_bushell. Appreciate comments on the calculator. http:__www.agha.org.au_calculator.html
The calculator was a lot more in depth than what I was looking for or prepared to fill out. I did try it though and it came out on the low end of the figures I've been given.
Here in Ontario it would cost+_-$30_ac( Canadian) for the combining plus $.10-$.15_bu for trucking depending on who you get to truck it. Combining rates are set by the acre here, so a 50bu crop will cost ya the same as 200bu to harvest.
