Farm hand pay rates

[phoenixni1]

I’d like to know what people thought was a fair price per hour for a self employed man to do a bit of work on the farm. He has a chainsaw licence, own public lib insurance, hgv licence, can weld, etc.

At least £15 and possibly a bit more.

As he supplies his own saws & fuel I think that’s a good price to pay, he’s not always cutting or it would be more.

If he supplies his own tools he would want more than £15.

Thank you all. What I’m seeing is that £15 is a good price, if not under charging. I may up my prices a bit then.

At least £15 an hour and you'll struggle to find anyone to do it at that.

Remember minimum wage is now nearly £9 an hour.
