Farm Income: Crosswalk

Value Added and Traditional Formats for Presenting Farm Income

For the convenience of those who may want to have a thorough understanding of the relationships between components under the value-added and older, more traditional formats used in the presentation of the farm income accounts, the two wk1 spreadsheet files below may be of assistance.

The most common requests are for "gross farm income" and "total production expenses." Gross farm income can be derived from the value-added table as the sum of two items-"final agricultural sector output" and "direct government payments." Total production expenses can then be derived as gross farm income less net farm income.

Two tables, which together provide a map of how to crosswalk between the two formats, the current value added and the less frequently used traditional formats.
