Hi,
So I am curious as to what self employed farm workers are charging or getting paid these days,
I charge £11/hr and 45p/mile for diesel whenever I am using my pickup for work going round the fields ect...
I provide a pickup that I use to do any job asked of me, 5ks worth of tools so I can take on most jobs away from the workshop and my own trailer that gets used a lot around the farm for a variety of jobs
Where I am currently working I have been doing work for them for over 10 years,
I am mostly a yard based worker around the stores, potato wash and grading facility but I do a lot of loader and forklift work too
I do most of the soil sampling across the fields, I go and do all the sample digging of the potato crops before harvest and clocked up over 1500 miles in the weeks before harvest doing this
I cover for the store manager when he has weekends off or goes on holiday
I have a lot of equipment experience and have run potato planters and other machinery,
So what should I be charging as I feel like I’m not compensating for my expenses but don’t want to be undercut by someone else if I put my rates up
Kind regards
Jordan
