Farm business level estimates of average incomes for 2021-2022. A National Statistics publication for Scotland.

Cereal farm income at a record high

Cereal farms have performed well over the last few years. Average income increased for the second year in a row, to around £84,600 in 2021-22. This is the highest estimate over the last ten years, driven mainly by increased crop output, particularly from wheat.
