Farm Economic performance
Economic performance for each farm is measured as the ratio between economic output (mainly sales revenue) and inputs (costs). The inputs for this calculation include an adjustment for unpaid manual labour. The higher the ratio, the higher the economic efficiency and performance. The farms are then ranked and allocated to performance bands based on economic performance percentiles:

Low performance band - farms who took part in the fertiliser survey and were in the bottom 25% of economic performers
Medium performance band - farms who took part in the fertiliser survey and were in the middle 50% of performers
High performance band - farms who took part in the fertiliser survey and were in the top 25% of performers'
