There was considerable variation between the years. In the most active year of wood trade, 2007, around 119,000 owners earned a total of EUR 1.88 billion from wood trade, while in the quietest year, 2009, about 84,000 traders made in all only EUR 0.94 billion. In 2011, taxable income from wood trade in private forests was close to EUR 1.5 billion. Farmers accounted for roughly 32 per cent of forest owners' income from wood trade. In contrast, active farmers earned 38 per cent of income from purchases for delivery. These data derive from the 2011 statistics on the finances of agricultural and forestry enterprises published by Statistics Finland.

The share of agriculture has thus diminished in the income formation of a farmer family. The income share of agriculture varies strongly between farms, however. One third of farmer families were part-time agricultural entrepreneurs in that their income from agriculture was only under five per cent of the owner spouses' total taxable income. Correspondingly, nine per cent of families are full-time farmers so that they received over 95 per cent of their income from agriculture. These data derive from the 2010 statistics on the finances of agricultural and forestry enterprises published by Statistics Finland.

All sales revenues and the remaining EUR 0.44 of subsidies were used to cover expenses. According to the personal tax data, the combined median of income subject to state tax was EUR 43,300 for a farmer couple, of which the median income of agriculture was only around EUR 7,300. Thus, the share of income from outside agriculture in a farmer family's income is significant. Without external income, in many cases it would be impossible to continue farming. In around 15 per cent of the farms the result from agriculture remained zero, or below it, while in nearly ten per cent of the farms the result was over EUR 50,000. These data derive from the 2009 Statistics on the finances of agricultural and forestry enterprises published by Statistics Finland.

The result by farm has risen by a total of 17 per cent in five years. The number of active agricultural enterprises taxed on the basis of the act on the income tax of agriculture dropped over the same period from 68,860 to 62,973 farms, so part of the growth in income is due to the over three hectare growth in farm size. Examined by area, the result varied between EUR 15,000 and 20,000 with the exception of the northernmost subsidy area. Farm size and production sector seem to have more impact on the result than the location of the farm. In 2008 the average result on dairy, pig and poultry farms varied on both sides of EUR 40,000, while on farms engaged in cereal production the result remained on the average under EUR 10,000. These data derive from the 2008 Statistics on the finances of agricultural and forestry enterprises published by Statistics Finland.

Over the same period the taxable assets of agricultural enterprises went up by nearly EUR 12,000 and their income increased by almost EUR 10,000 so on the average the situation is under control. However, the risk of indebtedness lies in the fact the debts typically accumulate to just a small number of enterprises. While almost one-half of agricultural enterprises had no debts in 2007, ten per cent of them (around 6,4000 farms) had debts in excess of EUR 134,000 and the debts of five per cent of farms exceeded EUR 220,000. In 2004, the respective limits for debt amounts were EUR 112,000 for ten per cent of farms and EUR 178,000 for five per cent of farms. These data derive from the 2007 Statistics on the finances of agricultural and forestry enterprises published by Statistics Finland.

Cereal producers taxable agricultural income per hectare of cereal also fell by five per cent from 2000 to 2006. Sugar beet producers income per hectare of beet declined up to 2005, but basing on the adjacent figure seems to have grown hugely in the last year of the examined time period. However, the reason for the apparent spurt of growth is that the cultivated area of sugar beet per holding diminished by approximately three hectares in 2006, in other words diminished divisor produced a larger quotient. What in fact happened was that in 2006 the income from the sales of sugar beet fell by around EUR 3,400 from the previous year per sugar beet farm, but risen agricultural subsidies and income from other produce not only compensated for the loss of income from sugar beet but actually increased taxable income. These data derive from the 2006 Statistics on the finances of agricultural and forestry enterprises published by Statistics Finland.

By contrast, other revenue items fell by some EUR 5 million, which resulted in a total revenue growth of EUR 36 million. Because of the simultaneous growth of agricultural expenditure by roughly EUR 72 million, the result in agriculture decreased by roughly EUR 36 million. The calculation includes the data from all the roughly 145,000 farming units which are subject to taxation. The production of some 67,000 units subject to taxation takes place on an active farm included in the Farm Register, while the remaining roughly 78,000 units subject to taxation are mostly owners of so-called passive farms or former farmers. These data derive from the 2005 statistics on the finances of agricultural and forestry enterprises published now.
