A coworker heard from someone that I plant food plots at my place. He owns 160 acres which has half crp and half woods. He wanted to get his trails maintained and add some food plots. These food plots are already areas that are clearings in the woods and only thing in them are grasses, some sedge, and willows. He wants his trails planted into clover or something so he can walk and grouse hunt with his dog, and the food plot areas planted into whatever I choose. I'm going to plant the larger plots with a brassica mix with radish/turnips/rape. Then smaller plots in a clover mix.
Anywho, I have never done this before so I don't know what to charge? What's a fair rate? What would you guys be willing to pay? Obviously I will cost out the materials such as gly, seed, feet, gas, etc. I don't know what the going rate for services like this is. I know skidsteer mowing goes for $80/hr in the area. Today I spent 4.5 hours spraying everything. Added a nice tomato colored base too, will be in some pain from sunburn, so do I add that in for a cost :)
Appreciate the feedback!
