Costs of tillage
The costs of tillage are presented in a new window.
Beside the actual cost calculation we offer the possibility to calculate simulations on diesel and labour costs.
The simulations thus provide a view on questions about varying cost schemes.
Result
- Tillage costs in wheat: 21 €/ha
- Tillage and seeding costs are about 1/3 of the total labour and machinery expenditure
- Depreciation dominates the cost structure
