Agricultural Census [ag/census]
The first Agricultural Census' (AC) was conducted in the Slovak Republic in 2001, followed by a second one, carried out in 2010. The AC 2010, to which the metadata review and data presented here refer, was conducted in conjunction with the SAPM.

National coverage
Households
The statistical unit was the agricultural holding (farm), defined as a single unit, both technically and economically, which has a single management and which undertakes agricultural activities listed in annex Ito the European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No. 1166/2008 within the economic territory of the EU, as either its primary or secondary activity.
Census/enumeration data [cen]
The census scope covered the units engaged in agricultural activities (crop and livestock production).
The Statistical Register of the SOSR provided information on the registered units reporting agricultural activity to build the Register of Farms (RF). The RF was then reviewed, supplemented and updated with information from other available agriculture data sources, such as on orchards, vineyards, cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, organic farms, and applicants of the single area payment scheme (SAPS).
Mail Questionnaire [mail]
Questionnaires were sent by post to the registered agricultural holdings, well in advance of the survey date, and respondents were informed of the deadline for completing the questionnaire and returning it to the SOSR regional offices. Interviewers received questionnaires for non-registered units (households). The data collection for non-registered units was carried out by face-to-face interviews, while other holdings were enumerated using self-interviewing, by reporting to the regional SOSR through the post. Data collection methods included also telephone and e-mail. Data for both the AC and the SAPM were collected at the same time (using one questionnaire).
The primary methodology for minimising non-sampling errors was rigorous controls and procedures for the data collection activity. Interviewers were carefully trained, as were their supervisors and once in the field they were provided with detailed procedures and questionnaire manuals. There was also close supervision and coordination of the field collection operation by the regional Offices and extensive checks on the data collected once it was returned to the Regional Office for data entry and checking.
