December Agriculture Survey - historical data
Date published:
The Agricultural Survey Northern Ireland December is a sample survey of approximately 5,000 farms in Northern Ireland.
Information is compiled from a number of administrative data sources. Information has been taken from the APHIS system for cattle since 2006 and the Sheep and Goat Inventory has been used as a source of sheep information since 2007. This administrative data is supplemented by the June and December Agricultural surveys in order to create representative estimates for all of Northern Ireland as at December.
The time series data has been collated since 1981, where available.
The information is normally released as a Statistical Press Release in the February following the survey.
