With Glennis McClure, Extension Educator and Farm & Ranch Management Analyst, UNL Center for Agricultural Profitability The 2025 Livestock-Related Custom Rates Report is now available—only the second edition of this important resource, following its debut in 2023. This report provides valuable insights to help producers and custom service providers with current custom rate information. During the June 5, 2025, the webinar hosted by the Center for Agricultural Profitability, Extension Educator Glennis McClure will walk through the survey’s design, share key findings, and explain how the report can be used to set and negotiate fair custom rates. We’ll also introduce new features of the free Agricultural Budget Calculator (ABC) program, now updated with livestock budgets for cow-calf, backgrounding, finishing cattle, and related operations. These tools help evaluate costs, returns, and support better decision-making. Find the livestock-related custom rates report at https://cap.unl.edu/customrates.
