INTRODUCTION

Purpose: This guide has been established to provide approximate costs for renng equipment or obtaining custom farmingoperaons from another farmer. It is not intended for establishing rates for individuals or companies that rent equipment or

contract custom farming operaons as a business.

The guide is applicable for two dierent situaons. One is to suggest an equitable price for both pares when one farmer either

rents a piece of equipment from another farmer or hires the other to do a farming operaon (seeding, spraying, harvesng

etc.). In this situaon the me of rented operaon is usually relavely small in proporon to the use by the owner. The otheruse is when farmers share equipment and need to establish the value of the machinery and/or farming operaon that is being

contributed to each farm.

Cauon:Nearly every situaon has circumstances and condions which are unique. This guide cannot address every situaon.t is up to the individuals to recognize special circumstances and make suitable adjustments to cover the dierences. It is

ncumbent upon both pares to agree to acceptable terms before entering into a contract.

Method:One of the most crical steps in establishing a rental rate is dening the cost of equipment ownership which includesequipment value, nancing, depreciaon, repairs and maintenance. Since it is likely that some factors will change for every

situaon it was necessary to develop the following set of assumpons that form the basis for calculang costs.

Cost of ownership has been broken down into cost of servicing debt and loss in machine value due to depreciaon from hours of

use and years in service.

Operang costs include repair and maintenance (broken and worn parts, oil, lters and labour for repair and service), fuel use,

housing and insurance. In addion, there are operang labour costs and a margin to cover unexpected incidentals and specic

condions that aect work rate.

Assumpons:

Basic Assumpon:In all cases it is reasonable to assume that rented machinery is in good repair and is capable of performing the

ntended task in the same manner and at the same producve rate as similar machines of equal specicaon, rangs or category

regardless of age.

Equipment Value:The rst assumpon is seng the inial value based upon the typical suggested list price for a machine suitably

equipped for the crops and condions in the parcular area where it is being used. The purchase price used is based upon the

averageof the base list priceand the list price for that machine with all available opons.

Finance Cost:It has been assumed that 50 per cent of the inial price is made up of the value of a trade-in and/or a cash payment

with the remaining 50 per cent nanced. The nance rate is based upon one per cent opportunity costs associated with the 50 per

cent not nanced and an average of Farm Credit Canada (FCC) rates (5.5 per cent) for the 50 per cent balance nanced. A combined

total of 6.5 per cent interest is amorzed over a reasonable payback period of 10 years (assuming the purchase has been added to a

balance already owed).

Depreciaon:Aer the rst year of use, most machinery depreciates at a fairly consistent rate over the next 10 to 15 years (with

typical use). Over that me about 2/3 of its useful life will have been used. This 2/3 of useful life is referred to in this guide as the

opmal life and it represents the number of years equipment is owned unl it depreciates to 1/3 of its value. A machines useful

ife depends on many factors and may vary greatly in years and hours. The end of its useful life is when the cost of repairs exceeds its

market value.

5/46

Repair and Maintenance (R&M):Each machines opmal life is typically measured in hours. Roune maintenance such as oil,lubricants and lters, as well as component wear or damage is associated with hours of use regardless of when they occur overits life. Early in its life repairs due to component failure are not usually as high as later. However, during its life repair expenseswill occur. Averaging the lifeme cost on a per hour basis provides a fair distribuon of the repair costs. For this document theaverage yearly basic maintenance and repairs have been added to what would be considered a major repair during its opmallife. These costs are divided by the hours accumulated over its opmal life.

Note that average repair and maintenance costs do not include extraordinary events brought about by extreme condions,abuse or accident.

Fuel costs: Fuel cost is dependent upon fuel market price and can uctuate dramacally. The diesel fuel price is charged at$1.05/L based on the removal of provincial fuel tax, which farmers and custom operators are both eligible for as a Fuel PermitExempton Holder. The ve per cent Goods and Services Tax (GST) was deducted based on allowable business deducons for fuel.Any power units fuel use is highly dependent upon the load (per cent of available power being used) and duty cycle (per cent ofme at parcular loads). To determine the cost based on fuel eciency, 75 per cent load is assumed. For alternave loads, fuelusage can be determined by using charts in Appendix H.

The selecon of the power unit and the operang condions (yield, moisture, soil type, terrain etc.) will also aect fuel use. Thismeans that for similar tasks there can be a wide variaon in fuel cost. For this reason, it is fair if the renter supplies or purchasesfuel separately from the rental rate. A fuel cost esmate has been included based upon typical use and should be used only as aball park indicaon of what fuel cost might be.

Work Rate: Instantaneous work rates are easily calculated based upon the implements working width and its travel speed.However, in all eld operaons there is a dierence between the instantaneous work rate and the average work rateaccomplished over several hours. This is referred to as eld eciency. Field eciency can vary greatly depending upon workcondions (eld size and topography, soil or crop condions, suitability of the equipment for the task, and availability of supportequipment). For this guide, a eld eciency of 80 per cent has been chosen and applied to all tasks.

Insurance and Housing: It is reasonable to expect that equipment owners will carry suitable insurance against accidental damageand for liability. Suitable housing is also a reasonable measure for maintaining equipment value and performance. These costshave been set at one per cent of the original purchase price of the machine.

Labour Rate:The labour rate has been set at $20.00 per hour. It is intended only as a reecon of the labour market in Western

Canada. This rate is arbitrary and will vary depending upon availability and the individuals experience and skills.

Margin: When performing custom farming operaons, condions can be unpredictable. To account for unexpected costincreases brought about by dicult situaons, it is customary to include a margin onto the esmated custom rate. This marginhas been arbitrarily set at 15 per cent. For machinery rental the margin is applied to the machine cost, but for custom rates ithas been applied to labour and fuel as well. It should be noted that this margin does not cover overhead costs or other costsassociated with business endeavours.

Using the Guide:

Per acre rate:Equipment rental or custom operaon hourly charges rate is based upon the addion of all yearly costs divided bythe typical hours of use. The hourly rate divided by the eld ecient work rate (per cent of instantaneous work rate expressed as

a decimal) yields a cost per acre rate. The acre rate is oen used because it xes the renters cost and allows the owner/operatorto adjust the operaon to the condions. This may mean either going slower to minimize machine damage and operator stress indicult condions or being able to go faster in favourable condions without losing revenue.

Hours of use impact:When machinery is shared between cooperang farmers, a cost oen needs to be assigned for the usageof each machine to dene the value of its contribuon. In previous guides the yearly hours of use have greatly inuenced the$/hr rate. When yearly costs are divided by low hours of use the $/hr increases signicantly and high hours of usage reduces the$/hr. This method tends to exaggerate the dierence because it does not consider the eect on retained value which is oendetermined by the machines total hours. To achieve a fair evaluaon the dierence in retained value, or the value at the end ofthe equipments opmal life, must be taken into account.

Addional Informaon:

This publicaon can be printed from the Ministrys website at www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca/custom_rental_rate_guide or copies canbe requested from the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377 or from your nearest Saskatchewan Agriculture Regionalor Satellite Oce.

Online Calculator versus the Printed Guide:

An online calculator is available on the Ministrys website which allows the user to enter individual informaon. In the calculaon

of ownership costs, slightly dierent methods are used when calculang the investment poron (interest and opportunity cost)in the Online Calculator versus the printed Guide. The Online Calculator has the ability to readily access large, and somewhatcomplex, interest and amorzaon tables in the calculaon of investment costs. The Online Calculator uses these tables togenerate the ownership cost numbers.

In the 2014-15 pdf edion of the Guide, the calculaon of the investment cost poron of the ownership costs uses a somewhatsimplied equaon to approximate the results otherwise obtained by using the amorzaon tables (see Appendix C, secon iiInvestment Cost). The results in the Guide are then readily comparable to those that producers would obtain when guring outtheir own cost informaon and calculang their own rental rates and custom rate by hand.

The net eect of the slightly dierent methodologies means that the nal rental and custom rates generated by each methodare slightly dierent. For example, the calculaon of rental rate costs on a two-wheel drive tractor in the 100-110 hp range

using the Online Calculator is $29.46 while the Guide generated a value of $28.91. Therefore, the dierence in the rental ratecalculaon between the two methodologies is $0.55/hr. This nominal dierence can be slightly larger on a more expensive pieceof equipment. For example, the dierence in rental rate for a class 8 convenonal combine is $5.17/hr when using the OnlineCalculator versus the Guide. Overall, the variaon is about two per cent of the total esmated value regardless of the originalequipment purchase price.

Two dierent methodologies were used to allow both a high level of accuracy along with a high degree of exibility for producerswhen calculang the rental and custom rates, depending on the technology available to them. In general, when makingcomparisons between the Guide and the Online Calculator, producers should ensure that variables (i.e. machine width, speed,work rate, etc.) ulized in each are comparable.

New Informaton and Claricatons for 2014-15 Guide

The custom rates presented in this Guide are not valid for commercial custom operators (for example custom sprayers). Therates in this Guide are to be used as a guideline for cost recovery of equipment from farmer-to-farmer, not as a guideline forcosng for a business. Business costs include extra liability insurance, overhead, skilled labour, etc. that will add to the cost forcommercial custom operaons.

The assumpons and calculaon methods for the 2014-2015 Guide are the same as those used in the 2012-2013 Guide, with thefollowing excepons:

Diesel fuel price increased from $0.94/L to $1.05/L (based on average per cent increase from 2012 to 2014).

Purchase prices for all equipment have been updated, with the excepon of rates related to guidance equipment whichappears in the footnotes for most powered equipment. On average, purchase prices increased by approximately20 per cent compared to the 2012-2013 Guide. This is parally due to the exchange rate between the Canadian dollarand US currency. For the 2012-2013 Guide, the Canadian dollar was on par with the US dollar. For the 2014-2015 Guide,the exchange rate used was 1 US$ = 1.11 CAD$.

Some equipment has new size categories or dierent descripons compared to the 2012-2013 Guide.

Some equipment has been removed as they are no longer available or the purchase price informaon was not availablefor this Guide. The equipment that was removed includes:

o Two-wheel drive tractors (50-59 hp)

o Small square baler (16x18x52 in.)

o Pull type small square bale mover (auto load)

o Grain dryers (1440-2380 bu/hr at ve per cent MC reducon)

o Belt grain conveyor (PTO) (12 to 13 belt, 55 )

b. Hauling Large Bales from Field to Yard

The following cost calculation of hauling large round bales from the field to the yard includes

the cost of a large round bale mover, tractor, and labour. The large round bale mover can pick up

large round bales in the field, transport them to the yard, and unload them automatically.

Assume:

a. 12 bale PT large round bale mover custom rate: $123.07 /hour

b. 120 horsepower tractor (included in custom rate for bales)

c. Two mile haul takes 30 minutes (4 miles round trip) 24 bales/hour

d. Six mile haul takes 60 minutes (12 mile round trip) 12 bales/hour

Cost per bale - two mile haul $123.07 = $5.13

24

Cost per bale - six mile haul $123.07 = $10.26

12

Assume:

a. 18 bale PT large round bale mover custom rate: $166.96 /hour

b. 180 horsepower tractor (included in custom rate for bales)

c. Two mile haul takes 40 minutes (4 miles round trip) 27 bales/hour

d. Six mile haul takes 70 minutes (12 mile round trip) 15 bales/hour

Cost per bale - two mile haul $166.96 = $6.18

27

Cost per bale - six mile haul $166.96 = $10.82

d. Rental of Farm Buildings

To determine the fair rental rate for farm buildings, consider:

Your Value Example

Replacement costof building $20,000

Retained valueof building (at end of years of service) $8,000

Interest rate (opportunity cost not included) 5.50%

Repair rate(% of replacement cost)* 0.50%Annual insurance premium $60

Optimal life 30

Calculate:

A. Depreciation:

(Replacement cost - Retained Value) / Optimal Life =

B. Interest Cost:

(Replacement cost) x (2.95 (Interest Rate) - 0.011) / Years of Loan =

This assumes 50% borrowed and 10 year loan

C. Insurance:

Annual insurance premiums =

D. Repairs:

Annual repair rate x Replacement cost =

Total = A + B + C + D

Example

A. Depreciation: ($20,000 - $8,000) / 30 = $400

B. Interest Cost: ($20,000 x (2.95 (0.055) - 0.011)) / 10 = $303

C. Insurance: $60 = $60

D. Repairs: $20,000 x 0.005 = $100$863 per year

(divide by number of bushels to get $/year per bu)

Repair rates are difficult to estimate. Steel buildings (bins and quonsets) might be 0.5% of replacement cost per year. Aeration

of the replacement cost.

For bins with aeration or natural air drying, include the purchase cost of the fan and air distribution system in the replacement

hp fan and $0.22/hr for a 3 hp fan for electricity costs.

Formulas Used in Calculations

A) Ownership costsper hour are the sum of (i) Depreciation, (ii) Investment costs, (iii) Insurance and Housing.

i) Depreciationrepresents the value of equipment over the hours it is owned.

Where:

Purchase price= average purchase price of manufacturers base list price and the list price with all

available options ($)

Retained value= value of equipment at end of ownership ($)

Optimal Life= number of years before trade-in or 2/3 useful life (yr)

Annual hours of use= typical number of hours equipment is used in one year (hr)

For example, for a conventional combine with a purchase price of $300,000, a retained value of

$100,000 at the end of its 15 year optimal life, and 200 annual hours of usage, the depreciation cost is:

ii) Investment represents the interest cost of borrowing money to purchase the equipment along with

the opportunity cost of the down payment.

It is assumed that 50per centof the purchase price is financed over a 10 year loan term (120 months).

The interest is compounded monthly, so each month is considered one payment period.

Amortization tables were used to determine the total interest paid over the 10 year loan. This total

interest cost was divided by the optimal life and annual hours of use (see Appendix F) to determine an

interest cost per hour.

A simplified equation was then developed, based on the amortization tables, to calculate the total

interest cost over the life of the loan:

The interest rate used in the equation included the actual borrowing rate (5.5% on average) plus the

opportunity cost of the down payment (the down payment could have been invested instead at an


34/46

33

opportunity rate of 1%). Since 50per centof the purchase price is financed and 50per centis paid down, the

interest rate used in the equation is the sum of the two interest rates (borrowed + opportunity = 6.5%).

For example, for a conventional combine (borrowing rate = 5.5%, opportunity rate = 1%, $300,000

purchase price, 15 year optimal life, 200 hours annual usage), the investment cost is:

iii) Insurance and Housingare assumed to be 1% of the purchase price per year

For the conventional combine with a $300,000 purchase price and 200 hours/year:

Therefore, the total ownership cost for this conventional combine is:

B) Repair and Maintenance Costs are calculated based on a repair rate that represents the repair costs per

year of ownership. These repair rates were determined by estimating the total repair and maintenance costs

over the ownership of the equipment (including oil and filters, general maintenance and one major rebuild). Thetotal repair cost was divided by the ownership years and purchase price to determine the repair rates used in

the guide.

For example, for a conventional combine, the annual cost of a repair program is approximately $3,000, the

annual cost of oil changes is approximately $500 and the cost of one major rebuild is approximately $70,000

($4,666 per year assuming 15 yrs ownership). Therefore, the total repair cost per year is $8,166. This represents

2.8per centof the purchase price. For the rental rates in the Guide, repair rates were established for each type of

equipment (refer to Appendix F).


35/46

34

C) Margin on Ownership and Repair and Maintenancerepresents farmer profit (or contingency) and is

calculated by:

For the conventional combine example, the margin on ownership and repair and maintenance is:

D) Rental Rateper hour is the sum of the Ownership Costs, Repair and Maintenance Costs, and Margin on

Ownership and Repair and Maintenance.

For the conventional combine example, the total rental rate is:

E) Fuel Costs are calculated by:

For example, for a conventional combine the fuel efficiency is approximately 30 L/hr and the price of diesel is

$1.05/L:

F) Labour Costs are assumed to be $20/hr.

G) Margin on Fuel and Labour is calculated by:

For the conventional combine example, the margin on fuel and labour is:

H) Custom Rateper hour is the sum of the Rental Rate, Fuel and Labour Cost, and a Margin on fuel and labour.


36/46

35

For the conventional combine example, the custom rate is:

The custom rental rate (per acre) is calculated by:

Combine headers are considered as an add-on rental rate to the custom rate since the rental rate does not

include fuel, labour, or a margin on fuel and labour. For example, for a conventional combine, if the rental rate for

a 15 ft pickup header is $10.54/hr, and the work rate of the combine and header combined is 9 acre/hr then the

custom rate is:


37/46


38/46

Custom Rate Calculation Worksheet

The custom rate ($/hr) is the sum of the rental rate ($/hr, Appendix C), the fuel cost ($/hr), the labour cost ($/hr)

and the margin on fuel and labour ($/hr). Custom operations may include costs for a power unit only (e.g.:

combine) or a power unit and equipment (e.g.: tractor and air seeder).

Power Unit Cost ($/hr) = Rental Rate + Fuel Cost + Labour Cost + Margin on Fuel and Labour

i) Use Appendix Cto calculate the rental rate of the power unit ($/hr)

ii)

Fuel usage can be estimated using the chart in Appendix H

iii)

iv)

Machine Cost ($/hr) = rental rate based on Appendix C(if applicable)

Total Custom Rate ($/hr) = Power Unit Cost + Machine Cost

Factors to Consider When Custom Hiring

Custom hiring is a business arrangement. The terms of the arrangement should be written in a formal

agreement. If unwritten, the terms are more likely to be misunderstood in case of a dispute. The following

factors should be considered in a custom hiring agreement.

Timeliness

Significant loss can occur if an operation is not started or completed on time. To facilitate planning, a custom

hiring agreement should include a schedule of operations for both parties. For example, when the custom

combiner is picking up swathed grain, the schedule would outline time periods for swathing by the owner and

combining by the custom operator. Such a schedule would be subject to weather conditions and crop maturity.

Operations

The parties should write into the agreement the exact operations to be performed by each party and the

machine, materials and labour to be supplied by each.

Rate Schedule

The custom operator should stipulate the rate for each operation to be performed on the basis of acreage, time

(hour, day, and week) or total operation performed.

Management

A custom hiring agreement should ensure that the custom operator will employ acceptable management

practices in his/her operations.

Terms of Payment

A custom hiring agreement should stipulate terms of payment for custom operations. As well, the custom

operator should bill the client upon the completion of each custom operation. The bill should indicate actual

units (hours, acres, etc.) completed, the rate charged per unit, the total charge and payment due date.

Termination

A minimum period for notice of termination should be included in a custom hiring agreement. A penalty should

be stipulated for unjustified termination within the term of the agreement.

Insurance

A custom operator may be considered differently than a farmer when insuring. It is advised that this point beclarified with the insurance company if one considers doing custom work or renting equipment.
