Deloitte & Touche report on their farming clients tp jun 2002.

50% of output came from food production.
The majority earned nothing from it, in most cases they paid to produce
it. Nothing is being invested.

Ave net farm income (that is BEFORE drawings and investment) is 15-20
UKP/ac, and has fallen 300 UKP/Ha since 1995.
