Northern Ireland Agricultural Census 2026

Please complete your Agricultural Census at https://research.nisra.gov.uk/agricensus2026/.

Please remember to enter the unique code that was included in your letter.

The farm census is collected via an online survey tool called Blaise, which incorporates additional functionalities requested by farmers in recent years. We will provide support for those who cannot complete it online. While we will be collecting the same information as in previous years, you may notice some differences:

• The unique code required to access the survey is now 12 digits long and must be entered as provided. N.B. This is not case sensitive.
• Your progress will be saved, allowing you to resume the survey from where you left off if you need to pause for any reason.
• Upon submission, you will also have the option to save or print a copy of your responses for your record.

If you have any difficulty submitting your return online or wish to get assistance please send an email to DAERAsurveys@daera-ni.gov.uk or call 028 9081 6556 and provide your name, unique code and a telephone number and a member of the Farm Census team will contact you to answer any queries, to help you complete online, or to gather your information over the phone.
