Custom Rate Charges
Summary of 2024/25 Central Florida (Ridge) and Indian River-Southwest Florida
This report presents the results of a survey conducted by mail during December 2024 among Florida citrus caretaking companies to collect data on their custom rate charges during the 2024/25 season. Cooperatives, their members, and growers performing their own cultural practices were not included in the survey. Therefore, this report refers to grove practices that growers may contract out. The custom rates for growers who are members of such cooperatives or the costs for growers who conduct their own cultural practices may differ from the rates reported below. Ten caretakers participated in the survey this season. From the total number of participants, four were citrus caretakers and service providers from Central Florida (Ridge), three were from the Southwest Florida/ Indian River region. The other three caretakers serviced two regions and the data they provided was used for their reported regions. The average custom rate charges for the Central and the combined Indian River and Southwest Florida regions are presented in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. Tables are organized by program; each with an itemized list of grove practices. The tables also include the minimum and maximum rates reported for each practice.
