National Farm Survey 2010 Estimates

By Approximately 1,050 farms participated in the Teagasc National Farm Survey (NFS) in 2010, these farms are weighted to represent a national population of approximately 99,500 farms. As of May 2011 the financial records of 817 of these farms had been returned and fully validated. The following report is a preliminary estimate of farm income for 2010 based on this sample of 817 farms. The final results, based on a sample of approximately 1,050 farms, will be published in June 2011. While the income figures may change somewhat between the preliminary and final results, the weighting methodology applied to these preliminary estimates means that the overall results are unlikely to change significantly.
