Which agriculture and forestry companies disclose their 401(k) match?
None of the companies with extracted 11-K match terms sponsors a published plan in this industry yet. 11-K filings only exist when the plan offers employer stock, so coverage is uneven by design. All extracted companies are at /companies/.
Which employers count as agriculture and forestry here?
Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting (codes 111100 to 115310).
The code is the IRS principal business activity code the sponsor itself puts on Form 5500, line 2d. Medians count only plans whose Schedule H shows a positive plan-paid administrative expense (623 of 655 plans here). Plan-paid expenses exclude fund expense ratios and employer-paid bills, so every figure is a floor, not the all-in cost. Latest filing in this group received by the DOL July 17, 2026; source dataset last refreshed July 28, 2026. Full methodology
