This publication gives estimates of crop areas and livestock populations for England from the June Census of Agriculture and Horticulture run by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in June 2021.
The Agriculture and Horticulture survey in England is run on 1 June each year. Every ten years a full census is run however, the census planned for 2020 was postponed due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Instead, all commercial holdings in England with significant levels of farming activity were asked to complete a questionnaire in 2021 and the results are published in this statistics notice. Also included is information about census methodology, response rates and analysis (please see section 2).
You can find information about the users and uses of the June survey of agriculture and horticulture on the June survey notes and guidance page.
