Anyone got a list of the contractor's charges issued by the NAAC?

Or know of the current going rate for
a) spraying
b) hay making

Thanks!

The list is a total waste of time as I do not know one contractor that uses it. There are so many variables . for example we can get somebody in spraying in an emergency for under £1 acre but they are not going to do a paddock for that.
Add the word horse to any job and it will rocket. Haymaking doing whole job for say 3 acres will most likely cost £1.50-£2 per small bale its a lottery and I always tell people it is far cheaper to buy what you want rather than have to feed homemade rubbish.
 
We used to be ag contractors and tbh the list is slightly irrelevant. You are buying a service, that provider can charge what they want. What we charged to spray 100 acres would be a lot less than to spray 2, same with hay making. We wouldn't negotiate especially on smaller amounts as they are often more trouble than they are worth.
