We are talking about averages.

Which will ultimately gets us nowhere.


NB, a correction: I took the figure £5000 from memory.
Now looking at data, the additional non-farm income brought
in to the average farm household would be more like £10000.


So the "average" farm income is presently about £10,000 below farm
household needs then. Wouldn't you say? Or do you reckon they do second
(even third) jobs for the sheer thrill of it?
