Not too many people are in farming for the money. And they are certainly not in it for a steady income.

Statistics for average farm income in 2015 show German farmers earned 66% less than their average income for the previous five years, and 75% less than in 2013.

Farmers in Finland earned 70% less than their average for the previous five years, and 64% less than in 2013.
