Ohio Farm Custom Rates
Farm work completed by others is often called "custom farm work" or more simply "custom work." A "custom rate" is the amount agreed upon by both parties to be paid by the custom work customer to the custom work provider. The custom work rates provided in this link are based upon a 2012 statewide survey conducted by OSU Extension.


Farm Income and Cost
The farm income and finances program measures, forecasts and explains indicators of economic performance for the U.S. farm sector and major crop and livestock farm groups. The program's analyses and data are used by USDA and other clients in both the public and private sector to form a perspective about the financial health of the U.S. agricultural economy.

Farm Income and Wealth Data
These are the latest data concerning USDA’s forecasts and estimates of farm income, including net value added, net cash income, cash receipts, government payments, farm production expenses, and the balance sheet. Forecasts are normally updated three times a year. The February release provides the first forecast for the current year and a revision of the prior year's forecast. The August release converts the prior year's farm income and balance sheet forecasts to estimates and adds State-level farm income estimates, revises previous years' estimates, and updates the current year's forecast. The November release updates the current year's forecast.
