Can anyone give me pointers on the fixed cost side of organic combinables?
At the moment as a one man band I can whip round with the sprayer at 36m and average say 15ha/hr including filling. With say 7/8 times through winter cereals and 3 times on liquid N, I have a pretty good idea on timings and cost of growing the crop.
Pondering organic however. What would I be looking at? Have 1x 130hp and 1x200hp tractors and 360ha.
Assuming establishment basically the same though plus ploughng 1yr in 5 to break leys, would this be fair enough:?
Harrow comb- once in autumn, twice spring? Say 12m Harrow at 10k- 8ha/hr? Fields generally long and straight.
Inter-row hoe, twice spring? 6m at 8k? 3ha/hr? Need rtk too.
Weed surf?
Muckspread(assuming can get it) and incorporation.
Anything else?
Many thanks and sorry if this is a bit basic!
