Holmes Sackett Farmstaff

The only publicly available information relating directly to farm salary surveys that has been available for Australian agriculture.

Farmstaff is a summary of salary surveys from agricultural contractors and farm business employees. It is the result of independent employee research and a comprehensive salary survey of 150 farm businesses in every state of Australia.

Farmstaff provides information on:

• What employees within the agricultural sector are actually being paid and how.
• What employees like and dislike about their job.
• Value of farm staff positions (allowing for rational negotiation between employer and employee).
• Direct comparisons between job titles (within the sector and between industries).
• Strengths and weaknesses of different incentive scheme structures (helping you to construct your own).
• What motivates employees and what makes a good employer.
