Alberta: Alberta's custom rates survey reports what operators actually charged, and the newest reports we found cover 2016-2018, so there's no current Alberta guide to anchor to yet. Alberta farms can use the SK or MB guide as a reference.

How the numbers work: every rate is the guide's own farmer-to-farmer custom or rental rate ($/hr), turned into $/acre with the guide's work rate, plus the guide's header rental where it applies. The diesel line swaps the guide's diesel price for yours using the guide's litres per hour and 15% margin. GST at 5% is added for farms marked as GST registrants (custom farming services are taxable supplies per CRA GST/HST Policy P-253). The guides say these rates are for farmer-to-farmer cost recovery, not commercial custom operators, and both parties should agree terms up front. This is a prototype, not tax or legal advice.
