  • MAF 408/202001Agricultural and Horticultural Census: Ward Summaries 2001

    The dataset is a Ward-level summary of the data collected in the June 2001 census of agricultural holdings in England. Unlike other datasets in this series which cover England and Wales, (the Parish Summaries, for example), Ward Summaries 2001 only covers England.

    The fields in the table fall into two main types: those which record the aggregated data for each ward relating to a particular question (indicated by the field name ending _v), and those which record the number of holdings to which the data relates (for these the field names end _c).

    In 2001, the sample was smaller than usual (approximately 38,000 holdings) due to the foot and mouth disease outbreak.
