The viability of the Irish farming sector in 2014
The viability of the Irish farming sector in 2014

The Teagasc National Farm Survey (NFS) income report is published annually. Family farm income, which represents the return from farming for the farm family to their labour, land and capital, is the principal economic measure published in this report. While family farm income is a useful measure, it does not account for the economic viability of the farm business nor does it make any allowance for the role of income earned outside of the farm in safeguarding the economic sustainability of farm households. This report presents the NFS viability analysis which accounts for these factors. The analysis is conducted on a sample of 871 farms that participated in the 2014 survey. This sample represents 80,000 farms nationally and is representative of farming at both a national and regional level.
