Agricultural wage

[William2894]

Was just wondering what some farm workers are on? I am a tractorman/stockperson, I can drill and have PA1 and 2 and do most of the cutting aswell at harvest. Also have plenty other work and experience such as fert spreading, digger work, ploughing and livestock work

Location would probably make a big difference.

Employee: I'm worth 100K per year plus benefits

Employer: You should be paying me for the privilege of allowing you to work here....

Isn't that about the long and short of it?

I'm only going by the AWB as I used to be on that sliding scale. Other than that I have no idea so sorry. This is just a guide and with each newly acquired skill your wages will increase. I'd imagine the first (Grade 1) is for a new-starter aged 16.

Anywhere from £28k to £40k per annum depending on hours, responsibility and size of farm...

They were abolished a while back so the figures are only really a very rough guide.

There are lads in their early twenties around here working for large setups or contractors on £14-£15 an hour which is more than I could get driving a wagon.

 

[NZDan]

£20k entry level. £30k for mid level. £40k for a stock manager. £50k for a senior manager.

Houses can complicate wage level further when treating like for like comparisons. Wage maybe let say 25k but free house with job could be worth another 12k+ per year. Hear people on big £ per hour wages but then when work out they pay for their own house and vehicle it does not seem so great.
