Farmers and crofters reminded to complete agricultural survey and sheep & goat inventory

Farmers and crofters in Scotland are being reminded to complete their December agricultural survey form, including the annual sheep & goat inventory where applicable.  The deadline is 18 December.



The survey provides important statistical information about the agricultural sector that can be used by Government, authorities, and the industry to inform decision making on measures which could benefit Scottish agriculture.

It is a legal requirement to complete the form and Scottish Government is warning that not completing the sheep & goat inventory could increase the chance of an inspection.

Farmers and crofters should have received their survey forms and can return them by post or respond online.

NFU Scotland Policy Manager John Armour said “The agricultural survey and sheep & goat inventory is an important source of accurate farm information.

“We know that a failure to complete the inventory can increase the chance of an inspection and would remind farmers and crofters that the survey is a legal requirement.  Most farmers and crofters provide timely and accurate information, demonstrating the sector’s commitment in this area. 

“Accurate information can also help ensure that sheep inspections go a bit more smoothly.”
