£5-6/acre depending on field and job size. That assumes 100 litres/ha water volume and good water supplied. My own cost is less than half that but that's because My farm is mostly ring fenced with regular shaped fields, 36m trailed sprayer that does liquid fertiliser too.

Depends on many factors - whole year and farm completely different to 150ac one off.guaranteed work is worth a lot specially when the agronomist talks to you first before sending recs out
