Overview

Summary of dataset and variables

The Standard Output (SO) is a financial measure used to classify farm type. Standard outputs measure the total value of output of any one enterprise - per head for livestock and per hectare for crops. For livestock it is the value of the main product (milk, eggs, lamb, pork) plus the value of any secondary product (calf, wool) minus the cost of replacement. For crops, this is the main product (e.g. wheat, barley, peas) plus any by-product that is sold, for example straw. In other words, the SO of an agricultural product is the average monetary value of the agricultural output per unit at farm gate prices.

Data collection or calculation

Farm Business Survey, Welsh Government. Statistical results from the Farm Business Survey (FBS) in Wales are produced and published annually by Aberystwyth University.

Farms are randomly selected from the June Census returns to provide a representative sample of 550 Welsh farms covering the main farm types. Letters are sent to potential participants and if the farmer agrees, a convenient visiting date is arranged by phone. During this recruiting visit the farm area, farming system, opening stock numbers and bank details, as well as other relevant information is obtained.

Statistical quality

Statistics produced from the same data by IBERS may differ in some respects from those in this statistical release. The differences arise largely from:

Weighting: the statistics in this release are weighted to be representative of the population (farm businesses with a Standard Output of at least €25,000). However, the statistics produced by IBERS are unweighted so are only representative of the farms included in the sample. Inter-year identical sample: Some of the statistics published by IBERS are for an inter-year identical sample (farms included in the sample for two years in a row). Not every farm is included in the sample for two years in a row. Therefore, the inter-year identical sample includes a smaller number of farms for each year, so the results for this group of farms may differ.
