How much is combining? How much does combining cost?
If I had 100 acres of corn to combine, how much could I expect to pay someone to combine for me? Do they normally charge per acre?
Actually, I’m starting very small, I only have 5 acres of corn to combine.
Combining is getting done very late in our area, north Missouri, because of a big rain in Oct.
I’ve asked several neighbors and everyone said no.
I’m guessing one reason might be, that people do a quick calculation on how much they would make, combing a small acreage, and decide it’s not worth it.
So, I’m thinking I need to offer more than they’re thinking. I need to offer a person doing custom combing, more than their standard “per acre” charge. I need to offer them enough, so it's worth their time to combine a small amount.
How much would a standard per acre charge be? How much would you suggest that I offer someone to combine only 5 acres?
Not that this matters, but it’s organic corn, which is bringing around $10 a bushel, so I’m hoping to make $4,500 on my small field.
