Defra has also published a separate set of figures forecasting Farm Business Income by sector in England for the year up to the end of February 2010. Based on different calculations, these forecast increases in income for pig and poultry producers, LFA and lowland grazing livestock and mixed farms, reflecting firmer prices for finished and store livestock combined with lower input costs.
