Most of the rates are stated per acre, cwt., ton, bale, or bushel rather than per hour to reduce the variation due to machinery size. The rates shown include the cost of hiring machine with fuel and operator and exclude the cost of seed, fertilizer, and other materials used unless otherwise specified. Individual rates vary due to differences in working conditions, services performed, or even the operator's eagerness to do custom work. Therefore, the average rates shown should not be considered absolute indications of fair charges. Of the 82 rates reported with year-to-year comparisons, 47 increased, 31 decreased and four are virtually unchanged from last year. Overall, custom rates were up 1 percent compared to the 2014 estimates. Because of the potential variation in size and overall productivity of equipment, a range of reported rates for each job has been included. The range represents the middle 80 percent of all reported rates for each job, thus the lowest 10 percent and the highest 10 percent of all reported values were not published. VIEW REPORT.

PennAg Food Booth at the PA Farm Show - January 7-14 The PennAg food booth at the Pennsylvania Farm Show is the association’s largest fundraiser, which allows us to work on behalf of our members throughout the year. We appreciate the time and energy each volunteer provides to guarantee a successful food booth. Once again, we will count on our members and friends at the 2017 food booth! The 2017 Farm Show will be held January 7-14. As in the past, we are seeking volunteers for two shifts each day, 10 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. - 9 p.m. Food booth volunteers may perform a variety of tasks, including but not limited to: collecting payment from customers, ‘running’ for food items throughout the booth, and preparing food items. Please wear comfortable shoes as you will be on your feet for the entire shift. Also, hats or hair nets are required - if you do not have your own, one will be provided for you. Volunteering at the PennAg food booth is a great way to meet fellow PennAg members, get out and enjoy the Pennsylvania Farm Show, and support your association in a fun way! Come as an individual, representing your company, or bring the entire crew! Thanks to great member support at the food booth, staff is able to host many legislators, legislative staff and regulatory personnel in the PennAg VIP Lounge. Many relationships are made and strengthened during the week through this endeavor, which are very valuable to the association in various efforts throughout the year.
