Agriculture in the higher-ratio third
4 FY2025 DEF 14A filers put Agriculture in the lightest third of SIC-2 volumes. Agriculture (SIC 01) posts a higher-third median CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 144:1 across 4 FY2025 SEC filers.
Inside this hotter-ratio band, the 25th percentile CEO earned $2.4M while the 75th earned $12.0M - firm size and equity packages still drive wide spreads. The 361:1 average sits well above the 144:1 median, so a few very-high-pay CEOs are pulling the mean; the median is the fairer yardstick.
