The 2016 Agricultural Census is now on, and the due date for completion is 07 July 2016. <\/p>\n
Every five years, the Australian Bureau of Statistics measures the pulse of Australia\u2019s agriculture industry, and it\u2019s happening right now. The Agricultural Census gathers and provides information on the production of key agricultural commodities, land management practices, and information on natural resources.<\/p>\n
Approximately 103,000 agricultural businesses across Australia are asked to participate in the Agricultural Census, making it Australia\u2019s largest business-based collection.<\/p>\n
The information gathered in the Agricultural Census supports policy and planning by Commonwealth and state and territory governments, industry bodies, research organisations and the farming community.<\/p>\n
