There are many factors influencing the price for custom harvesting. For wheat I have found rates from 12-12-12 to 15-15-15 this year. Harvesting in the eastern parts of the High Plains states like eastern Oklahoma and eastern Kansas is usually a little higher than in the western parts of these states and Colorado. The fields are not quite as big in the east , there are more terrases, higher yields and more rain and mud to fight. Further west the yields are lower due to less rain. The fields are commonly larger and easier to access. That allows a custom harvester to cover more acres in a day and therefor charge less. Expenses and revenue eventually come out to the same profit in between the different regions. In the Dakotas there are still regions, where the cutting price for wheat is a flat rate due to an oversupply of combines, resulting in a very low, if at all, profit for the custom harvester. Rates there were ranging from approximately 16 to 18 dollars per acre this year. Soybeans in our area have been harvested for about 25 dollars per acre, plus so many cents per bushel for hauling depending on distance. Corn in our area often gets harvested for 25 cents per bushel, including a 5 to 10 mile haul. A yield of 200bu_arcre is expected to make ends meet. Other areas prefer a flat rate by the acre.
