A survey for the tenant farming sector

The commissioner for the tenant farming sector (see our article here) has just launched a survey aimed at tenant farmers, landlords, agents, and advisers. The survey captures some base line data about awareness and familiarity with the role of the tenant farming commissioner and the Agricultural Landlord and Tenant Code of Practice for England and the nature of the relationship between landlords and tenants and their agents and advisers.

Around a third of  agricultural land in England is tenanted and the sector is therefore of vital importance within the context of agriculture as a whole.

A link to the survey is here. It is open until 6 March 2026.
