Given the figure of 60% (from memory) farming families drawing
considerable
proportion of their income from non-agricultural sources, this is
probably
going to increase



I guess there is a certain attraction to a fixed salary paid every
month
over an annual variable cheque.



I succumbed to my own curiosity and am currently looking at the report.
Interestingly enough, they seem to remain predominantly self employed, and
most diversifications bring in under about £25,000
(many a lot under, apparently 6% made little of even a loss, although this
could be a function of early years and start up costs)
