Please note this survey only covers commercial holdings (defined as farms with more than five hectares of agricultural land, one hectare of orchards, 0.5 hectares of vegetables, 0.1 hectares of protected crops, 10 cows, 50 pigs, 20 sheep, 20 goats or 1,000 poultry).</p><p> </p><p>Defra produces statistical estimates of the total income from farming by English county Data are only available on total fixed capital (value of land, plant and buildings) at UK level due to the calculation methodology used.</p><p> </p><p>Defra do not hold financial data for farms at holding level. Some financial information is published at a farm business level (where multiple farm holdings can constitute a single farm business). This information is based on the Farm Business Survey which only covers farm businesses in England with a Standard Output of more than £21,000. Whilst the Survey captures the majority of agricultural activity, it excludes around 43,000 smaller businesses (which account for 2% of output). This means the statistics cannot be used to infer any statistical estimates for the whole population of farms. The published 2022/23 balance sheet statistics, which include the distribution of farms by net worth by region, are available in Table 6 of the Balance Sheets.</p><p> </p><p>Please note that the data being asked for is already publicly available on the Defra Farming Statistics webpages: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/food-farming-and-bio-security-statistics" target="_blank">Food, Farming and Bio-security statistics - GOV.UK</a></p> answering member constituency Cambridge answering member printed Daniel Zeichner question first answered 04/12/2024 12:55:18 answering member 4382 label Biography information for Daniel Zeichner
