Cattle and sheep farms see smaller increases
Livestock farms in less favoured areas (LFA) have low but stable incomes compared to other farm types.
Increased livestock output mainly drove small increases in income across all livestock farm types in 2021-22. Whilst they increased from the previous year, average incomes for LFA livestock farm types were still typical when compared to the previous ten years.
