A characteristic feature of individual farms is that it is difficult to make a clear distinction between income earned from both farm labor and other off-farm sources between the household and the farm. Often, the total income of the farmer’s entire family, living together and running a shared household, has a significant impact on both production and investment decisions made in the agricultural holding. Since 2004, the Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics – National Research Institute has been collecting data on farmer’s family income in a questionnaire survey supplementing the collection of accounting data from individual farms. This paper presents an assessment of farmer family income in 2019. Farms were grouped by agricultural type and economic size class. Analysis of the results indicates that as the farm specialises and economic size increases, off-farm income becomes less important.
