Results from the Scottish Agricultural Census: June 2023 Methodology Report

Timeliness and Punctuality

Results have been published just over four months after the census date. The census date was set at 1st June 2023, with initial returns requested by 30th June (subsequently extended to end of August). However, forms were still being received through to September, when the census was then closed to finalise results. Forms received after closure of the census are used for imputation of the following year’s census, and will be incorporated into revisions published alongside the results of the June 2023 census.
