About this data
The stored SOC 11-9013 covers Farmers, Ranchers, and Other Agricultural Managers. Agriculture Specialist is a broader catalog title that also includes inspection and science roles. Manager wages do not establish pay across all of these roles. The previous range was withdrawn on September 12, 2026 because its supporting source was not documented; no verified replacement wage figures are currently available in our data. Employment projections retain the manager SOC mapping. This mapping needs a separate role-definition review.
Annual median review, October 27, 2026: The stored occupation mapping does not establish an annual median for the role as described. Its identity requires review before wages can be assigned; no neighboring occupation median is substituted. Sources: https://www.bls.gov/oes/2025/may/oes_stru.htm . Existing employment and projection figures were not refreshed.
