Going rate for shelling corn in your neighborhood

Tractorcedric · Nov 1, 2020

I have my F2 gleaner out and cut some wheat this summer. Then I found a corn head for it and have been shelling some 200 bushel corn. Just wonder if anyone knows what custom guys are charging

They are around $25-30/acre here plus trucking. Prices really haven't changed much as I used to get $22/acre 25 years ago.

35-40 dollars per acre here.

Many state agricultural extension websites publish the going rate or range of rates for various types of custom work.

Google your state and combine custom rates and you should get a good answer. Mine charges $35 if he supplies the fuel. Tom

$40 with newer machinery. Extra for trucking.

I was told $35/acre for a Deere S690 with 12-row chopping corn head.

If the trucks can keep up that machine can cover a lot of acres. They blew through my little 11 acre field in about 2 hours including waiting for trucks.

I've not seen anything local under $45 and a lot at 50-55. Not many operators, lots of ground to cover.

Last job I shelled I charged 12 cents a bushel.

It is interesting how terminology has changed and is different in so many parts of the country. I grew up with combining corn, picking and shelling corn.
