The 2018 Texas Agricultural Custom Rates Report is now available.  This report is based upon 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 this report by clicking here.
