The survey provides planted area estimates for the upcoming harvest. These areas are broken down by crops, nabim group and malting or non-malting approved feed barley.
The Planting Survey will provide an estimate of the area of cereals and oilseed rape intended for harvest in 2020 in Britain. The Variety Survey aims to assess the varietal composition of the wheat, barley, oats and oilseed rape crops.
By publishing the results, AHDB aims to accurately quantify the full impact of the wet and challenging autumn at a time where food security is ever more important due to the impacts of coronavirus.
The results of the Planting Survey will be available online at www.ahdb.org.uk in July, and more detailed analysis will be available in the AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds market publications and on the AHDB website.
