Figure 2
The horizontal axis at the bottom is labeled “Farms under study (n equals 2,197) – sorted by average adjusted profit from lowest to highest.” The vertical axis on the left is labeled “Adjusted profit in euros per hectare (euros per ha)” and ranges from negative 4,000 to 4,000 in increments of 1,000 units. The graph shows a dense distribution of vertical blue lines representing individual farms. Each vertical blue line, or “whisker,” indicates the range of adjusted profit per hectare for a farm over the 21-year study period. The red dots along a smooth, curved line running across the center of the plot represent the mean adjusted profit for each farm. The line begins at the bottom left of the graph, gradually rises toward the center, and continues to increase toward the upper right, illustrating the progression from the lowest to the highest mean adjusted profit among all farms. A rectangular legend box is placed below the plot area. It states: “The red dots visualize each farm’s mean A P (in euros per ha) and the ‘whiskers’ (vertical blue lines) the range of the A P over the 21-year study period.”The level and the variability of adjusted profits (AP) across all farm (n = 2,197) over the 21-year study period.
