Statistical quality

The farm incomes data used in this statistical release are derived from the annual Farm Business Survey (FBS). The survey is conducted on behalf of the Welsh Government by the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences (IBERS) at Aberystwyth University. The FBS collects detailed physical and financial information from approximately 550 farm businesses across Wales and covers all types of Welsh livestock farm. However, it should be noted that the disruption to the data collection as stated above resulted in a slightly smaller representative sample for 2021-22 of 517 farm businesses and 539 farm businesses and 501 farm businesses in the previous years (2020-21 and 2019-20 respectively) (compared to 550 in earlier, pre-pandemicyears). Highly trained researchers collect the data by visiting farms and requesting information from farmers. Only those farm types where there are more than 5 representative holdings in the survey sample are reported.
