§ Dr. StrangTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the average net farm income and average cash income per livestock farm in the less-favoured areas and per lowland livestock farm for each year since 1982.
§ Mr. Jack[holding answer 15 December 1993]: Estimates of net farm income and cash income based on results of the farm business survey are provided in the tables. The method of farm classification has been changed and results are only available on the new classification from 1986–87 onwards. Estimates for lowland cattle and sheep farms for 1992–93 are not yet available.
Year-to-year comparisons can best be made by reference to the indices shown in the tables, which are based on results from constant samples of farms.
