A relatively high share of dairy farms (46%) also have off-farm activity. Obtaining off-farm work is more problematic for sheep and beef farmers, given the greater distance to urban centres and the very slow internet speeds in rural areas which inhibit working from home. Many farming wives have higher education and often find professional work in urban centres, e.g. teaching or nursing, whereas male farmers who work off-farm often do so in farm-related occupations, e.g. hay-making or shearing. The data on off-farm income available from the farm budgets show that off-farm income is small compared to cash receipts from farming, the exception is kiwifruit farms, where such income rises to 13% of the aggregate of on- and off-farm receipts (Figure 13).
