These publications summarise information from the June Survey of Agriculture and Horticulture and other farm surveys run by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government and the Department for Agriculture and Rural Development for Northern Ireland.

For further information about the June Survey of Agriculture and Horticulture please visit our survey notes and guidance page. Here you will find various guides including our survey methodology and our privacy notice which explains how we manage your personal data.
