When I have asked around about this in the past,
this is the only resource that has surfaced:
More based on polling farmers than calculating from
actual cost of operation. And, definitely grain or forage oriented (I have
never asked Vern if he has seen something like this for
vegetables/fruit?). But, it still should be useful in giving you a place
to start from for your calculations.
New England Ag Statistic
apparantly doesn't do anything like this, but might if asked. They have
often expressed interest in gathering information that farmers in the region
might find useful.

Subject: Tractor Cost.
Good Morning Everyone,
I am looking for a cost per
hour to run a tractor and implements. Trying to figure out a rent/share with a
neighbor. It’s 35hp diesel. Loader,tiller for now.
Thanks
Joe
