Decline in production of meadows for mowing
In 2006, the total yield of meadows for mowing was about 2.59 million tonnes, converted by dry matter into hay. This is 2 per cent less than the year before.
The total yield of meadows for mowing corresponds to a yield of 596 kilos of hay per decare. Total yield of green fodder and silage in 2006 was 252 000 tonnes, a decline of 28 100 tonnes from 2005. About two thirds of this yield was rye-grass.
The yield of potatoes was 376 000 tonnes, corresponding to a per decare yield of 2 695 kilos of potatoes.
