In Australia, a full time Sustainable Farmer generally earns $2,500 per week ($130,000 annual salary) before tax. This is a median figure for full-time employees and should be considered a guide only. As you gain more experience you can expect a potentially higher salary than people who are new to the industry.
Currently there are 178,500 people working as a farmer in Australia, but only a small number of these will be classified as a Sustainable Farmer. The number of people working in this industry is expected to drop slightly over the next five years. Sustainable Farmers work in rural or remote regions of Australia.
