What about ridging up.

I was quoted £30 acre this spring.

I was quoted £30 acre this spring.

That sounds a bit more realistic

Might have been destoning then?‍

The £30 was probably mouldboards only, the £100 was probably ridge and till in 1 go straight into ploughing?

Most of the prices will also include diesel, the £30 i was quoted would probably be my fuel which seems to be the norm around here.
