Farm business level estimates of average incomes and related economic data from 2015/16 to 2021/22, broken down by farm type.
Estimates of average farm business income in Scotland come from the Scottish Farm Business Survey. This is an annual survey of around 400 commercial-sized farms. Farms which are part-time, or with economic activity below approximately £20,000 are not included. Farms that do not receive support, such as pigs, poultry and horticulture, are not included in the survey.
Data from the June Agricultural Census is used to weight the farm business income estimates. The Farm Business Survey is representative of around 11,000 farms in Scotland, which is around 21% of all farms included in the June Agricultural Census. These farms cover 64% of Scotland's agricultural land, employ 46% of those employed in Scottish farming, and produce 95% of standard output from the farming sectors that are included in the FBS.
