Edina ‘Agcensus’ service now available

The Agricultural Census is conducted in June each year by the government departments dealing with Agriculture and Rural Affairs for Scotland, England and Wales. Each farmer declares the agricultural activity on the land via a postal questionnaire. The respective government departments collect the 150 items of data and publish information relating to farm holdings for recognised geographies. This census information can be used to assist decisions on agricultural change, market potential and new business opportunities.

Access to Agcensus is available now from http://library.liv.ac.uk/record=b3064211~S8
