Order your copy of the 2026 Remuneration Survey

The 2026 BakerAg Remuneration Survey is now available, providing New Zealand sheep and beef farming businesses with up-to-date benchmarking information on remuneration, employment benefits, and workforce trends.

Published every two years, the survey is designed to support employers and employees by providing practical insights into remuneration across a broad range of farming roles. The report includes regional comparisons, salary quartiles, and an assessment of Total Remuneration Package Values, recognising that employment packages extend well beyond base salary alone.

With employment continuing to be one of the most significant investments on-farm, having access to reliable industry data enables businesses to make informed decisions when reviewing remuneration, recruiting staff, planning budgets, or considering employment packages.

The report also reinforces the importance of viewing remuneration as part of a broader employment offering. While competitive salaries remain important, attracting and retaining quality people is also influenced by the overall employment package, opportunities for development, workplace culture, and recognising employee contributions.

Developed specifically for New Zealand's sheep and beef sector, the survey offers practical benchmarking across a wide range of roles, making it a valuable resource for farm owners, managers, consultants, and employees alike.

Whether preparing for annual staff reviews, recruiting new team members, or simply wanting to understand how your business compares with current industry practice, the 2026 BakerAg Remuneration Survey provides a trusted reference point for remuneration decisions.

Copies of the 2026 BakerAg Remuneration Survey are now available for purchase for $400+GST
