Farm Business Survey – collecting information from farms

Farm Business Survey

SAC Consulting will be arranging to visit some farms participating in the Farm Business Survey (FBS) to collect and return documents.

The FBS is based on the financial accounts of a sample of commercial farms. It provides valuable data on farm income in Scotland and is used to evaluate policy effectiveness and shape future policy decision making. The information is used to provide benchmarks that can be used by farmers seeking to improve farm performance through the Farm Advisory Service (FAS).

SAC Consulting wish to assure participating farmers that health and safety is a core part of its visits. When staff visit your farm, they will take all necessary precautions to protect both you, and your wider household. This will include:

  • maintaining a two metre distance at all times
  • regularly sanitising hands
  • using disposable gloves

More information is available on the SAC Consulting Scottish Farm Business Survey webpages.
