Sign-up for Livestock-Related Custom Rates Survey
The 2025 Livestock Custom Services Survey is ready for your participation! Please complete a survey if you provide livestock related custom services in Nebraska or if you utilize custom services for your livestock operation. The 2025 survey includes information on custom land and pasture maintenance rates, fencing and trenching work, common custom services by livestock species (cows, calves, hogs, poultry, and sheep), livestock hauling rates, custom feed preparation, haying and baling, livestock and hay storage facility rental rates, equipment rental rates, manure pumping, hauling, and application rates. Surveys are to be returned by February 28, 2025, and a custom rates report for livestock related services will be published soon after that.
