  "Live agreements under each Sustainable Farming Incentive scheme and the farm businesses holding them, at the date Defra gives. Defra rounds each count to one significant figure below 1,000, two below 10,000 and three above (its note 9), so the schemes may not add up to the total; a business can hold agreements under more than one scheme, so its businesses do not add up (its notes 2 and 3)."
