HC Deb 12 June 1984 vol 61 c436W
Mr. Steen

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his Department's estimate of the profit margin per acre of winter wheat and milk, respectively.

Mr. MacGregor

Costs, returns and profitability in farming vary widely between farms depending on natural conditions and standard of management. Estimates of the average level of profitability for particular crops or animal products would therefore have little meaning and are not available.
