The Scottish Government’s 2024 Agricultural Census is now open. The census provides key information on agriculture in Scotland and will enable us to tailor our support for the sector.

Farmers who have been selected will receive a request to complete their census online or on paper. The easiest way to complete the June Agricultural Census is through RP&S online.

Completing your census form online

Log on to your RP&S account, click on your business name (shown as a blue hyperlink) and select the ‘Ag Census’ section of the menu bar. The deadline to complete the Agricultural Census has now been extended to Friday 30 August. If you require assistance getting online please contact your local area office.
