(1) As co-operators are asked into which range their non-farming income falls rather than the absolute amount, the figures given here relate to a mid-point of the range.
For this reason, the figures should be treated as indicative rather than exact, and the income level per farm has been rounded to the nearest £100, and the proportions to the nearest 5%.
