We have pretty favorable conditions for both drilling/plowing. We do work in house and also hire some out. Last year we paid $5-8/ft for drilling and $1.50-2/ft for plowing. Production, when I drill with one other guy locating, in open ground we can usually do >1000ft in a full day although often it's more like 6-7 shorter bores in the same day. Plowing, it's all based on how many obstacles. We usually do 1/3 or 1/2 mile a day but that's with crossing a few obstacles, drains, ditches etc. The plow itself can run at ~1mph in easy ground so that's not the limiting factor.
