How much can an average agricultural machinery sales person expect to earn in a year.
Is there a set minimum wage then commission?
Or is it based just on commission?
Don’t really want people guessing I want to hear from people who actually know because we all know how that will go.

Victory. Social media and farmer pressure, BFU, etc. we've all come together and pressurised change.

I’ve been looking in for a while but today have registered so hello.
I was just after people’s thoughts really. Prior to the interest rate rises I bought a few items of equipment and put them on finance which as it now turns out was extremely good interest rates. We’ve had a very good year...
Hi all, I'm working with Nesta to build a platform for regen farmers to manage admin, track crop yield and access alternative sources of finance. Looking to chat to a few regen farmers (wherever you are in your journey, even if you're just thinking about it). If you had 15 minutes, would love to...
Working on a project to help regen farmers lower admin burden, manage regen practices and find alternative routes to finance - wondering if anyone might be open to sharing their experience of regen farming practices and transitioning/starting in regen!

I’ve a number of last years ewe lambs running , the plan was to sell half as shearling breeding ewes as they are decent sorts.
But the price of hogs at the moment means they need to be £250 plus as shearlings……
I have quite a few youngsters help me at various times of year. Vet students, 15 year old work experience kids, ag college students, the odd NEET from the county council.

But wow, that's a slick bit of work :(...
