Anyone know what the total cost of reseeding per acre including the seed works out at?
Did a few acres last year:
Costs per acre
Roundup biactive €26
Seed: €78
Lime: €54
Fertiliser €98
Post emergence spray €26
Contractor (spray off, spread lime, spread fert, disc 3 times, sow with one pass harrow drill, spray post emergence) €86
Total cost €368
All prices include VAT.
ground was hungry and soil tests indicated it needed all the lime and fert it got.

I needed this info because I've put a calculator together for average contractor costs and I didn't have enough information on this one and forum4farming is a good place to get it.
Can't see us encouraging a price war because farmers care too much about their land and livestock so serious farmers will always have an eye on quality also.
(There have always been people who only care about price of course - always will)
Rates for every service that I know of - building, insurance, hotels, car rental etc are available on the net so I don't think that farming is going to be any different whether we exist or not.
I mean - people are using this forum to find out about charges - is that causing a price war?
But if you want us off the site - fair enough - your call!
