Your input matters — ensure your operation is represented in the 2026 Nebraska Custom Rates Survey and support fair, informed decisions statewide.

It’s that time again — the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL) is gathering information for the 2026 Nebraska Custom Rates Survey, and we need your input.

If you provide custom services in Nebraska — whether it’s planting, harvesting, spraying, hauling, or other custom operations — your participation is vital. The data you share becomes part of the biennial Nebraska Custom Rates Report, a trusted resource that farmers, ranchers and service providers across the state use to set fair rates and make informed decisions.

Why Participate?

  • Ensure your operation’s rates are represented.
  • Contribute to one of the most widely used decision-making resources in Nebraska agriculture.
  • Help create a clearer picture of Nebraska’s custom service economy.
