Yeah, I agree. I did try and find the raw data to take a peek at that, but I couldn't easily find it. It sounds the Farm Business Survey and DEFRA surveys are the main source of data for this.
I worry that even if I were able to get the raw data it might not be all that useful, though. Everything I read online says that farms with a standard output of less than 25k EUR are excluded from the data. I don't know for sure, but it feels like there's probably lots of farms in a given year operating at a loss or a tiny profit, given the nature of the business.
As you point out, excluding those lowest profit farms will further skew the average.
