2020 Farm Custom Rates Available

2020 Farm Custom Rates Available
By Andrew Frankenfield
 
Pennsylvania NASS no longer does a custom rate survey, so we need to look to other states.
 
Information from other States
 
 
This guide has additional activities such as vertical tillage, no-till planting with splitters, and extra charge for seed shut-offs. It also has more detailed harvesting operations such as complete harvesting rates, grain cart rates, and moving bales to storage rates. The miscellaneous services include nearly a one-page list of activities such as snow removal, scouting crops with a drone, livestock hauling, and using a truck scale. Lastly, in addition to tractor rental rates, they list rates for some other equipment such as no-till drill, corn or grain head, grain cart, bin wagon, manure spreader, generator, and skid loader rental rates.
 
 
 
 
 
I always advise farmers that these rate schedules are intended only as a guide. Actual custom rates may vary according to availability of machinery in a given area, timeliness, operator skill, field size and shape, crop conditions, and the performance characteristics of the machine being used.

Video: The Unveiling Of A Brand New Tractor! Brand New Caseih Magnum!!

Case IH invited us out to an event in Racine, Wisconsin, and it turned out to be an absolute trip of a lifetime! CaseIH is celebrating the 250th anniversary in style!! Very cool to be apart of this event!

We kicked things off with an incredible deep-dive into the rich history of Case IH and the legendary Magnum tractor lineup. From there, we got exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to the official Case IH testing facility to see how these massive machines are pushed to their absolute limits.

But the real highlight came after the tour. We were transported to a location for the main event: the grand unveiling of a brand-new, completely custom, 1-of-1 tractor named "Providence."

A massive thank you to Case IH for inviting us out and letting us bring you guys along for the ride. This was an experience we won't ever forget!

Drop a comment below: What do you think of the "Providence" Magnum?!
