What is the CBR?
A compensation benchmark designed around your workforce.
The Compensation Benchmark Review (CBR) is AgCareers' annual salary survey and reporting platform for agriculture and food employers.
Instead of relying on broad-market salary data, the CBR helps organizations compare compensation against relevant industry peers, roles, sectors, company sizes and geographic markets.
Why employers use the CBR
Turn compensation questions into confident workforce decisions.
Whether you are planning annual increases, evaluating a hard-to-fill role or presenting a recommendation to leadership, the CBR gives you a stronger place to start.
