Have Farm Custom Rates Kept Pace With Machinery Costs?, William M. Edwards
Have Farm Custom Rates Kept Pace With Machinery Costs?, William M. Edwards
William Edwards
Average custom rates for eight common farming operations as reported in surveys done in Iowa and Kansas in 1995 were inflated to 2015 values (Iowa) and 2013 values (Kansas) using the Prices Paid indices gathered by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The projected rates were generally higher than the average rates reported in surveys completed in the corresponding years, except for planting. Possible explanations for the lag in custom rates include uncertainty about fuel prices, improved fuel efficiency, improved field efficiency, adoption of larger equipment where economies of size exist, and extension of field hours per season

Corn can still be planted after this date, but the insurance guarantee on those acres is reduced by 1 percent per day until the acres are planted. Corn acres planted after June 25 will receive insurance coverage equal to 60 percent of their original guarantee. Producers should keep accurate …

Nearly everyone has been impacted by higher fuel prices this year. Custom corn and soybean harvesters are no exception. Their increased costs will likely be factored into custom harvesting rates this fall. Estimates of diesel fuel consumption of combining corn range from 1.5 to 2.0 gallons per acre. Soybean harvesting takes only about 1.0 to 1.5 gallons per acre. Larger, newer combines will typically use less fuel per acre.

A Three-Year Level Study Of The Profitability Of Corn And Soybean Production, Todd D. Davis, William M. Edwards
William Edwards
Crop producers face many decisions each year about the quantity and quality of inputs to use, the purchasing of these inputs, and the timing of production operations. Because their time for gathering and analyzing information on which to base management decisions is limited, they need to know which decision, areas have the greatest impact on profitability. A set of detailed and accurate records of production, costs, and returns from a group of producers growing corn and soybeans in Iowa over a three-year period was.available from Iowa State University Extension. This information was used to assess the relative importance of various …

Most crop producers know that to achieve optimum yields it is important to plant early. However, in years like this when cold weather or frequent rains prevented tillage and planting from being completed, some adjustments may be made to the amount of coverage provided by Multiple Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) as well as other types of crop insurance. These adjustments are subject to revision each year by the Risk Management Agency and crop insurance vendors.
