Per hour · DFW average

1–3 years on the job; many go on to own or lease land rather than climb a wage ladder.

Full outdoor exposure, heavy lifting, machinery, and animals — physically demanding and seasonal.

Largely unlicensed; commercial pesticide and livestock handling have state certifications, and logging follows safety certs.
