Price to combine

[WTNUT]

For those of you who are real farmers ha ha or know real farmers, what is the going rate so to speak to have someone combine your fields in your area? I am thinking about trying to work out a deal to have someone do all the combining for us next year (beans and corn).
I have a neighbor that runs a pretty good sized operation and he will do it I just want to be fair to him.

You're welcome. Iowa State updates their custom rates yearly. They give a range and the averages.
