Business performance varies within farm types. There are loss making and high income farms in all farm types.
More LFA and lowland livestock farms have low incomes or make a loss. However, some LFA and lowland livestock farms do have incomes of £100,000 or over.
Among dairy, general cropping and cereal farms there are more farms that are highly profitable, and some farms with very high income. However, some farms still make a loss. The spread of farm incomes is widest among dairy and cereal farms.
