The agricultural sector has faced a raft of challenges in the past two years, but a new report from Research First shows farm employers across the dairy, sheep and beef, and arable sectors have continued to invest strongly in one of their greatest assets – their staff.

This 2024 report is Federated Farmers and Rabobank’s 14th Farming Salaries report. The information for employers and employees provides a valuable benchmarking too.

The report collates the results from a remuneration survey conducted by Research First in early 2024, and the findings cover data collected from 529 farm employers relating to nearly 1800 employees.
