Some supervisors are paid by seasonal contracts. For example, supervisors contract with a farmer to harvest a crop. Supervisors supply the crew, pay the crew, and keep the remaining money as their income. Wages vary by area of the country, crop, and employer.
Few jobs on farms and ranches provide benefits such as retirement and health care. In addition, because many agricultural worker supervisors travel the country following the crops, they have several employers during the year. Thus, agricultural worker supervisors must provide their own insurance and other benefits.
