June Agricultural Census
The Scottish Government’s 2023 Agricultural Census will open on Thursday 1 June. The census provides key information on the health of the farming industry and will enable us to tailor our support for the sector.
The quickest and easiest way to complete the June Agricultural Census is online through the Rural Payments and Services (RP&S) website.
Getting online
You will need a personal RP&S account. If you don’t have one, create one on the website. Get ready now – it can take up to 30 days to have your account approved.
Once you have an online account you can attach it to your business. If your existing business is paper-based, follow the ‘claim offline identity’ process on RP&S to take it online.
