** Increased data collection from horticulture farms and those with no farmed area.
*** This includes farms which do not use any fertilizers and those that do not grow any arable crops.

The source notes: "Results are weighted to represent the whole population of farm businesses that have at least 25,000 Euros of standard output as recorded in the annual June Survey of Agriculture and Horticulture. In 2018/19, this accounted for approximately 57,100 farm businesses."
Furthermore: "It should be noted that results prior to 2015/16 were restricted to those farms with a farmed area and did not include horticulture farms. From 2018/19, the classification of farms is based on 2013 standard output coefficients. 2017/18 results have been recalculated and presented in this release to allow comparability between 2017/18 and 2018/19. Results for 2018/19 and recalculated 2017/18 results are not directly comparable with those published in earlier years which are based on previous standard output coefficients."
