The poor market returns last year had the largest impact on full-time farms. On the more commercial full-time farms the average family farm income was €24,214, down from €37,590 in 2008. That’s a drop of 35 per cent and this group of farmers have seen their farm incomes halve since 2007. By comparison the average family farm income for part-time farms was €6,611, a 13 per cent decline in the year.
