Rural Payments and Services

The June 2018 Agricultural Census should be arriving with those selected to take part in the next few days.

The information we collect helps to make sure we develop the right policies to support agriculture in Scotland.

We send the census to all holdings who complete a Single Application Form(SAF) and to a sample of other agricultural holdings.

If you normally complete your Single Application Form online, the quickest and easiest way to complete your census is to login to your account on the Rural Payments and Services website and select Ag Census.

Please complete the census form as if it were 1 June 2018.

We need your information returned to us by 30 June 2018.

If you are posting it, please consider how long it will take to get to us by mail.

If you haven’t received a form, please check your emails.

Otherwise please email us at agric.stats@gov.scot or phone the Scottish Government on 0300 244 9728.

More information about the surveys can be found on the Scottish Government website.
