2 Updates on Distribution of support and new farm level analyses Distribution of support Data requirements Selected data source Farm organization and unit of analysis Treatment off-farm income Harmonized farm type Exclusion Preliminary results Next steps New analyses Questions/Discussion 2

3 Distribution of support: Data requirements Individual, family farms with sales>50k $US Six main farm types Administrative regions (TL2 or TL3) Income indicators for farm income and family household income Support including direct payment and OECD MPS estimates 3

4 Distribution of support: Selected data source Farm Financial Survey Self reported No question on depreciation Off-farm income under reported Annual Tax/CAIS Data Program Average Revenues & Expenses of Farms (Cat.

7 Distribution of support: Farm organization and unit of analysis Less simple case: >=1 individuals in 1 family operating >1 farms Family A Ind 1 Ind 2 Farm 1_60% Farm 1_40% 2/3 HI? Farm 2_100% Split household income (HI)? 1/3 HI? 7

9 Distribution of support: Treatment of off-farm income Divide family off-farm income by occurrence (number of farms-members) Re-assign parts to farms Need assess weight and possible bias Inclusion of capital gain With capital gain $5,821 M Without capital gain $5,171 M (-$650 M) 9
