farm wages
Agricultural worker compensation
Farm wages are the pay agricultural workers receive for labor on farms, ranches, or other agricultural operations.
The term appears frequently in economic discussions, labor statistics, and policy debates about rural employment: Farm wages in the region have not kept pace with inflation.
Unlike salaried positions, farm wages are typically calculated hourly or by piece rate for seasonal work.
