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 and seed costs in the presented production system: 133 €/ha
• Tillage and seeding costs are about 1/2 of the total labour and machinery expenditure
• Even in intensive tillage the most important factor in cost structure is depreciation
