I have about an acre for a food plot. Does $250 sound about right to have it done? Sarge

I prefer two passes. Seems high to me. Especially since the guy is 15 minutes away from the site. Might have to figure something else out.

Below is what I was using for my thoughts. This is an average of what custom operators were charging last year for various services. I realize that these prices seem low and may not include fuel. In the past that was indicated. Also there are usually several acres involved and not just an acres. https://farms.extension.wisc.edu/articles/estimating-custom-rate-for-2023-wisconsin-farm-operations/An acre is 212 by 212 square feet. If the person is using a 5 foot tractor powered rotor tiller he will make about 42 passes doing it once. That is about $6 per pass, or $3 per pass if two times. It may be your best deal you have available, but in mly opinon still high. Yes you can compare it to owning the equipment etc. etc. But it still needs to be planted, rolled or crushed and seed purchased and some weed control if desired. Bryce

Go to the ag dealer, what's the cost to rent the tractor and tiller with delivery and pickup for the day? Then it's just your time and gas.
