The UW-Madison Division of Extension is conducting a survey to estimate custom rates for common Wisconsin farming operations. If you are a Wisconsin farmer or a custom operator who performed or hired custom services in 2025, please follow this link: go.wisc.edu/CustomRates.
You need only complete the sections of the survey that pertain to you. The survey covers custom rates for tillage; planting and seeding; fertilizer and chemical application; manure services; grain harvesting, hauling and drying; silage, haylage, and hay services; and tractor and machinery rental.
The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary, and you may exit at any time or skip sections that do not apply to you. All responses will remain confidential, and results will be anonymous. The survey is funded by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension.
Participate in the survey here.
