IOWA FALLS, Iowa — This popular publication from ISU Extension serves as a guide for individuals who hire custom work or perform custom work within our state. The survey includes rates for renting machinery and providing other machinery operations. The custom rate charged for a service should cover the machinery expenses, fuel and the operator’s labor. The survey is available online at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/crops/pdf/a3-10.pdf or https://store.extension.iastate.edu/product/1792. The survey is also available free by hard copy from the Hardin County ISU Extension Office.
