This publication gives estimates of land use, crop areas and land ownership for England from the Survey of Agriculture and Horticulture run by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in June. The statistical notice includes information on arable crop and horticultural crop areas, agricultural land use breakdowns and land ownership. Cereal and oilseed areas in England were published in August and are included here for completeness. More detailed information on these crops can be found in the detailed cereal and oilseed release.
A longer time series of agriculture land use and crop areas data is available in the accompanying dataset.
Detailed breakdowns of agricultural land ownership and tenure structure are available at www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/agricultural-land-ownership-in-england.
Information about the uses and users of the June survey of agriculture and horticulture is available on gov.uk.
The next update will be announced on the statistics release calendar.
