Aerial applications and spraying do
not include any materials.
The survey shows that custom
rates vary and in some operations
quite widely. The plowing, discing
and field cultivating rates varied
with the local conditions under
which the operations were per-
formed. These conditions include
type of soils, size and shape of
field, obstructions, time of plow-
ing (such as spring or fall), and the
kinds of crop residues handled.
Some custom operators made a
distinction in the rate charged for
discing and/or field cultivating
depending on the condition of the
field, or if other equipment such as
levellers, harrows and packers
were pulled behind the discs or
cultivator.
Variations in rates occurred in
planting, spraying and fertilizer
applications depending on
materials used, quantities of water
required and extra handling in-
volved. In most cases, the farmers
supplied the materials for weed
spraying operations. To avoid
misunderstanding, the rate
charged and the material or
materials used should be clearly
agreed upon by the farmer and the
custom operator before spraying
commences.
Combining rates varied because
of conditions encountered such as
crop lodging, excessive weed
growth, muddy fields and other
poor operating conditions.
