Choose the right category
Forestry is listed separately from crop and animal production. The row is a sector minimum, not a special chainsaw-operator rate or compensation for a particular hazard.
Questions to settle before accepting
Ask about training before operating equipment, protective gear, transport between sites and whether accommodation is provided. Confirm how the supervisor records attendance at remote sites.
Make a fair comparison
Compare a site-based offer after listing required travel and personal expenses. Do not accept an unexplained lump sum without knowing the number of working days it covers.
