    Default Dove field cost per acre

    Can anyone give any insight to what they are paying a farmer to plant a dove field for them? Looking for a per acrea price. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Do you mean the farmer covers everything ( seed, chemical, fertilizer included in price) or you provide that and he just plants?

    I have a farmer that plants mine (just putting seed in ground) for $40 per acre.
    I purchase seed and do spraying and fertilization

    He would probably have 100 an acre in materials. Add in diesel and time. 225-250 an acre maybe? Maybe more if it his land. I know how much effort and time I put in mine. Dove fields aren't cheap.

    Lots of variables to look at. What are we planting to start with?

    $400 would be a good average. It can be more or less depending upon the quality of work that you want.

    We plant a small 5 acre sunflower field. Depending on the year it has been in the $400-500/acre range. We do all the work. Seed, chemicals, fertilizer, electric fence supplies, etc.

    Dove fields are expensive. If you must axe the cost you probably shouldn't have one...

    $8 kabillion dollars for the average size field.

    But the number of friends you suddenly accumulate around mid August are priceless and free.
