Just looking at some benchmarking figures for labour and machinery and wondered what i could expect to pay a contractor for a full stubble to stubble operation.
North Yorks, decent field size, medium textured soils, high input / high output set up.
Thanks S

Depends on what Operations you'd need carrying out and how spraying / harvest logistics work, I think it would be hard to day without giving more detail...

No doubt someone will do for £250/ha, I'd want to see £350/ha in the absence of any profit share, although academic as I dropped a chunk of S2S work and the farms in a far better position for it!!

Most s2s deals offfer profit share on top of the contract charge to incentivise

The % split of which determines the sanity of the level of pior charge

That is a contract farming agreement (with profit share).
Stubble to stubble is just a straightforward agreement where the farmer pays the contractor to take the crop from establishment to harvest, I believe that is what the op was referring to.

I've always thought of a s2s deal at a fixed price is an odd concept, establishment and application passes vary from season to season and cropping, so one of the parties is losing out...

Why not have an agreement to carry out all the work, but pay per pass at an agreed rate??
