Details

The Farm Practices Survey (FPS) collects information on a diverse range of topics. Each year, stakeholders are invited to request new questions to help inform policy decisions.

This release includes the results from the FPS run in October 2018. The survey largely focused on practices relating to how farmers run their farm businesses. Topics covered include innovation, market prices, risk management, grants and payments, collaboration, use of accounting packages, soil management and cattle housing. Where comparisons with earlier years are possible, the results are displayed alongside those from previous years. This release contains headline results for each section.
