Title: Land changes in corn cultivation: A look at the federal states

The current data on the development of the corn construction areas in Germany show significant differences between the federal states. While in Rhineland-Palatinate, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Hesse, an increase in the area from 1.3 % to 8 % is forecast, a significant decrease can be expected in several other federal states. Especially in Saxony-Anhalt, Lower Saxony, Thuringia, North Rhine-Westphalia, Brandenburg and Saxony, the areas could decrease by up to 9.1 %

The acceptance is particularly striking in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia, which together with Bavaria cover a large area of ​​the entire German corn cultivation. This could have significant effects on agricultural production in these regions, especially since corn is an important crop that is used in various areas, not only as a food, but also as animal feed and biogas source.

According to the DMK study, which Kynetec has been performing annually since 2011, not only the area changes in corn cultivation are recorded, but also trends in winter greening and using corn as second fruit. New this year is the recording of data on corn grid, which provides further insights into the growing strategies of farmers.

In summary, it can be said that the declines in important growing areas give rise to worry. The changes in the corn construction area could affect the entire agricultural economy and possibly also on the prices for corn products. Farmers and decision -makers should keep an eye on these trends in order to adapt suitable measures to adapt to the changed conditions.
