2023 Land Rental and Custom Rates Survey is now available

Attention Colorado Agriculture Producers and Agribusiness Owners: It’s time to show your LOVE for Colorado Agriculture this Valentine’s Day! The 2023 Custom Rates Survey went live on Feb. 14, 2024.

Colorado State University Extension conducts an annual survey of custom rates charged for various crop and livestock operations and lease arrangements in Colorado in the preceding year. Data is collected from agricultural producers, landowners and managers, lenders, agricultural consultants, machine operators, and Extension agents. Results of the survey are used by producers, ag lenders, county assessors, the Colorado Department of Agriculture, land appraisers, and more. The Land Rental and Custom Rates Survey in Colorado is one of the most widely used publications available from the CSU Agriculture and Business Management Team.

The CSU Land Rental and Custom Rates Report allows you to advertise custom services or locate and hire custom service operators in your area. You will be able to understand custom rates in order to make informed business decisions, budget accurately, and plan for the coming year, and provide information used by elected officials to determine rates that influence land appraisal values, your property taxes, and more. The online survey will only take about 10 minutes!

The Custom Rates Survey will be available through March 27, 2024. To access and take the survey, visit https://abm.extension.colostate.edu/custom-rates-survey/ and click the available button. For more information contact Jenny Beiermann at 970-241-3346 or email at jenny.beiermann@colostate.edu.
