      abstract = {The aim of the article is to outline problems related to  the measurement and assessment of income in European Union  agriculture. Research shows that measuring agricultural  income, as well as assessing differences in income between  EU countries are a matter of many doubts. They not only  result from problems of a methodical nature, but also from  specific solutions of a cultural nature (e.g. sale of a  successor farm or free family transfer). The methodology  used to determine income in agriculture currently used in  the European Union only takes income resulting from  agricultural production and the processing of agricultural  products as well as other activities directly related to  agricultural production into account. Other sources of  farmer income are ignored. This applies, for example, to  remuneration for work outside the farm, social allowances  and revenues from the lease or rental of property  resources. Thus, the methodology used to determine the  income of persons related to agriculture prevents or at  least hinders the full assessment of the income situation  of farmers in the EU and in individual countries, including  Poland. The current way of measuring farmer income causes  certain economic and social repercussions and is often  criticized. The conclusion is that there is a need to  improve the methodology of measuring income in  agriculture.},
