104 GROSS FARM INCOME


F: PRODUIT BRUT GLOBAL
S: INGRESO BRUTO TOTAL


GROSS INCOME of a FARM. It is constituted by the value of product
which, during the specified period, is sold, used for HOUSEHOLD
consumption, used on the farm for seed or feed, used for payments
in kind or gifts, or in store at the end of the period. In
calculating gross farm income, those components of OUTPUT that are
not sold should be valued at market prices. For livestock, though
not usually for standing crops because of difficulties of
valuation, changes in the value of the stock of animals over the
period are usually taken into account. See LIVESTOCK GROSS
INCOME.
