This study discusses aspects, including land allocation, livestock breeding numbers and production, input demands and the determination of prices, of the structure of an econometric model for UK agriculture. Effects of changing agricultural policy on the value of inputs, outputs and UK farm income are identified, and the conclusion from preliminary policy simulations is that increasing support prices in line with inflation will result in farm incomes being stable in normal terms, but falling in real terms. This position is exacerbated if support prices are not increased in line with inflation.
