Data on farm business cash flows are now available for 2009.
Note: While similar to the Farm income data released on May 25, 2010, in The Daily, the cash flow account is a summary of cash flow in and out of farm businesses over the calendar year. The basic function of the account is to provide information on the financial position of farm establishments (that is, the amount of cash available to farm establishments to meet current obligations). Specifically, only cash flow pertaining to farm operators is included. Cash income and expenses of non-operator landlords and the personal portion of households are excluded.
This series does not include data on depreciation, which are available in the publication Farm Operating Expenses and Depreciation Charges: Agriculture Economic Statistics (21-012-X, free).
