Any skilled tractor driver could make more money driving construction machinery purely because the construction industry just passes down the required increase in wages to the customer, when did you see ABP, Frontier, 2 sisters, Arla say we have increased the price to allow for a increase in living wage etc? It doesn’t happen, hence why a top tractor driver is on £20ish yet you could be a average crane driver probably on twice that.
Think majority of farm staff would be very disappointed on a profit share agreement and that’s not because their boss is running a 5hit show or buying new range rovers to hide it from the tax man.
must be slightly different down south but you would never find anything like those wages in the north. Maybe it’s on different scales but there is a shortage of ag workers round here for one reason.
