  1. A correction notice was added to the key findings page. Total income from farming, without support payments, in real terms figures in supplementary documents: ‘Total income from farming estimates 2018-2024 - Total income from farming, inputs and outputs timeseries at current prices and in real terms’ were updated due to a small data processing error.
