The main source to the statistic is primarily account information from accounting offices organized in SEGES. This information is retrieved electronically from the accounting system Ø90 supplemented with some necessary additional information (eg. working hours). In addition some financial data for a small number of holdings are retrieved from other accounting offices.
The holdings in the sample are checked for outliers and might be excluded in total or from certain activities. The holdings in the final sample are weighted to the population.

Data collection
Data are mainly collected as a system to system solution towards the common accounting system in SEGES Innovation called Ø90. Some account, from accountants not using Ø90, are delivered on questionnaires. The questionnaire can be found here.

After receiving the data at Statistics Denmark a sophisticated test is performed for each holding. The test is particular sophisticated because individual data are delivered to FADN, DG Agri.
