Changed rules in the Single Farm Payment affect cultivation measures in agriculture

2017-11-29

The total area of set-aside land increased by 38 200 hectares between 2014 and 2016, and the share of short-term (1 or 2 years old) set-aside area increased. Spring tillage decreased in favour for autumn tillage, and also the area with catch crops 2016 decreased. The observed changes are partly related to changes in the rules within the Single Fame Payment Scheme.
