Where does meaningful compensation data in agriculture come from? It starts with you.

The 2026 Western Growers Compensation and Benefits Survey is still open for Western Growers member companies to contribute their compensation data. The last day to do this is Monday, May 4.

All members who participate in the survey will not only receive a free copy but will also be entered to win a coveted Western Growers Stanley mug.

Benefits of Participation

Western Growers invites agricultural employers and organizations to actively contribute their own workforce data in a collaborative approach that makes the survey both dynamic and highly relevant to the industry it serves. Unlike traditional reports, the Western Growers Compensation and Benefits Survey is built on the fundamental model of industry participation for the most accurate and real-time data.

How it Works

The Compensation and Benefits Survey is a survey built by the industry, for the industry—a survey driven by its participants. Participating organizations submit key data points about their workforce, such as job titles, geographic region, base salary and incentive pay. The more organizations that contribute, the more accurate and representative the data becomes.

The information is then aggregated, validated and anonymized to create a comprehensive view of compensation trends across the ag industry. The result? A dataset that reflects real-world conditions, not estimated figures.

All submitted information will remain completely confidential and will not be associated with any specific organization. The data is captured, analyzed and compiled by Industry Insights, a third-party partner. All data is valid and reliable and distributed in the aggregate.

The Western Growers Compensation and Benefits Survey is the only one of its kind in the agriculture industry.
