Hello Mat'
Pour le salaire, ça parait pas extraordinaire:.
Ce serait plus parlant cependant pour toi (et nous) si tu avais une estimation de ton salaire horaire.
Si c'est 900 dollars "définitifs" et que tu bosses 9 heures tous les jours, tu te fais enfler (9 heures *12 dollars * 15 jours = 1620 dollars, par exemple).
Il faut voir aussi si tu as des choses déduites, comme le logement et la bouffe (ce qui est souvent le cas).
Sinon, te prends pas le chou pour le contrat, ça marche souvent (enfin des fois) comme ça
Tiens nous au courant et hésite pas à nous raconter ton expérience !
PS: J'ai trouvé ça en fouinant et qui est beaucoup plus parlant: Dairy Farmer: Pay and progression - Careers New Zealand
Pay
Pay for people in dairy farming can vary depending on experience and responsibilities:
- People with little or no experience may start on the minimum wage.
- The average pay for dairy farm assistants is $35,424 a year.
- Assistant herd managers earn an average of $41,800.
- The average pay for herd and farm managers ranges between $45,000 and $60,000.
- Operations managers in charge of large or multiple farms earn an average of $70,445.
Other benefits
Dairy farm workers are often supplied with free or subsidised accommodation, power and telephone, some or all meals, and sometimes farm-killed meat. The monetary value of these extra benefits can be significant, with the average about $4,000 a year, according to Federated Farmers.
Sharemilkers' pay
The earning potential of sharemilkers (who pay some farm expenses but get an agreed percentage of milk company payouts) and dairy farm owners is much greater than dairy farm workers:
- Milk company payouts in 2010 are expected to earn the average dairy farmer about $1 million before tax and the costs of running the farm, which can be substantial.
- Farmers' and sharemilkers' incomes are also subject to fluctuations, depending on market conditions and on-farm cow production.

Career Progression
Most dairy farmers start as farm workers and progress to work as herd managers or sharemilkers, before eventually owning their own farm.
