Data notes:
(a) In all years’ production is typically standardised to 14.5% moisture content for cereals apart from 2022. In 2022 the hot and dry season resulted in lower moisture content therefore, only production with moisture content above 14.5% have been adjusted.
Results are based on final results from the Cereal and Oilseed Rape Production Survey, a representative sample of cereal and oilseed rape growers across English regions and farm sizes.
All results from the Cereal and Oilseed Rape Production Survey can be found here Crop statistics (www.gov.uk).
