Hello,
This may or may not belong here and if it doesn"t I apologize. I am wondering what different areas of the country are paying for farm hands. I am talking a skilled hand that does everything from planting to harvesting, has vast mechanical knowledge and capable of anything from minor repairs to major overhauls. Employee has a cdl and knowledge of anything farm related. What kind of hourly wage or salary plus benefits are some of you paying or getting paid? Employee has been on the farm for 4 yrs and would like to keep him around but want what is fair for both employee and employer.
