Abstract: The income of non-salaried agricultural workers is at the heart of many debates and analyses concerning the economic trajectory of French farms. According to data from the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN), the farm income (before tax) per annual work unit (non-salaried AWU) amounted to 29,500 euros (in constant 2019 currency) on average over the ten-year period 2010-2019. This average, which is subject to strong inter-annual variations depending on the prices situation and the size of the harvest, masks a very large heterogeneity. To analyse this, two typological grids are proposed in this paper, based on a combination of three indicators, namely labour productivity, productive efficiency and debt sustainability. After an analysis of the evolution of the income dispersion of non-salaried AWU over the last ten years, the construction method of the two grids is presented. An application to FADN data allows us to measure the lessons learned in terms of the distribution of French farms and their results. The variability of the farm income per annual work unit is high between types of farming, but also within each of them. The objective in constructing these two typological grids is that they can be used as much as possible by public or private producers of data on agricultural income.
