Rural Business Research Farm Business Survey

FBS data builder is a specialist interactive system for professionals and researchers. It allows direct interrogation of Farm Business Survey (FBS) data to construct user defined tables.

The statistics in FBS data builder are periodically updated in accordance with the latest revisions to the FBS calculated variables (currently version 49). The figures from some variables may thus be subject to revised calculations from time to time.
