As the post says; neighbouring farmer has done some for us, what is a fair charge. Good going after beet.

Thanks

£25/ac seems a fair going rate.

The farmers who do my contract ploughing charge me £22.50 per acre using their fuel.

Just checking “fuel supplied” means supplied by contractor?

When it is dry how much per acre for metal?

In your field , you could burn a set of points away in half a day , that is why it’s a 3 mph field takes forever that 15 acre . But you know what that side of the road is like , ploughing dry ballast or wet concrete , have to balance the cost against the non wearing polishing silts
Can you remember when we burnt those subsoiler points after carrots away in 5 acre , then ferobided up another set and some tungsten lasted 3 times longer in that field

Looking at some of the gorgeous soils pictured on here I'd plough it for nothing just for the chance to plough stuff like that!!

Would you like s day with a new 6 furrow on land Lemken , when we do next beet lift 25 acre of nice loamy sand with a bit of stone and a really mean 9 acre full of tyre shredding flint , hence going on land plough to keep tyres from been shredded
