Net farm income, 2006
Realized net income for Canadian farmers fell for the second consecutive year in 2006 to its lowest level since 2003. Rising interest, wage and fuel costs, together with falling hog receipts and program payments, more than offset increases in revenue from crops and cattle.
Farm cash receipts, first quarter 2007
Market receipts for Canadian farmers rose 13.0% in the first three months of 2007, up from 2006, when the first-quarter level was one of the lowest in a decade. The gain was mainly due to higher grain and oilseed prices as global supplies tightened and the biofuel industry continued to expand.
