Description

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, operating through its Cereals and Oilseeds division is seeking for a company to provide detailed analysis of the labour and machinery costs for the businesses involved in its Farm Excellence Platform. AHDBs strategy for Cereals and Oilseeds recognises the need to build growers' business profitability and resilience through good business planning and typically the largest element of a farm business' costs are overhead costs.

The reviews will include:
• Cost review of each machine with an engine. i.e. tractor, combine, sprayer & telehandler. (telehandler & trailers etc costed on a time only basis)
Detailing; depreciation, repairs, interest, insurance, total standing cost, total hrs/yr & cost per hour.
• Cost review of each implement with details as above.
• By matching implement to tractor, provide an operation cost per hectare including fuel consumption and labour cost based on workrate, ha/hr.
• The review will give a detailed view of mechanised operation cost across the farm business in a £/ha format.
• A full labour profile for each business is also required.
• Summary and recommendations.

These reviews will commence in November 2017 and are required to be completed by January 2018.
