THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION
The soil utilization survey of 3 June 1950 indicated that the cultivated
area was increased to 147,300 hectares, or 5.2 percent more than the planned
139,900 hectares. This was accomplished by the expropriation of farms as well
as by conversion of grassland to cultivated land.
The following table shoes the planned cultivated area, the actual area,

Causes varied for the plan deviations. The winter oleaginous crap area
was reduced because of frost damage. The area planted in legumes was in-
creased to improve the quality of the soil and particularly as green manure
for rape. The leguminous fodder area was increased to assure the fodder supply
for the increasing number of livestock; the sugar-beet area was increased for
the same reason and to make the VEG more profitable,
The summer crop area was increased to offset the loss of winter oil seeds
as well as to improve the fat supply. The area cultivated with fiber plants
was decreased. because the demand for fiber (Faserlein) was reduced. The po-
tato area was increased to improve the fodder situation for the pigs and to im-
prove the difficult financial situation. Since the sale of fresh vegetables
was uncertain because of the improved living conditions, the vegetable area
was decreased. The root fodder crop. area was decreased, and that of field
fodder plants increased because of the high protein requirement of cattle. The
decrease in the area planted with medicinal sr. kitchen herbs was due to the
organizational weaknesses of tte contract partners fic7. The amount of area
to be green manured was increased to improve the light and very light soil.

The seed production plan for grain was exceeded by 0.7 percent; for le-
gumes, 4.8 percent; and for fiber plants, 91.9 percent.
The plan, to increase the potato crop was fulfilled 99.2 percent; the plan
to increase the sugar-beet crop, 91.7 percent; and .,the plan to increase the
harvest of oil seeds, 97.1 percent.

The deviation from the plan in respect to horses was caused by the lower-
ing of the average age of the horses and good breeding results. The biologi-
cal prerearaisites ver' lacking to achieve the planned goal for beef cattle; be-
sides the poor breeding results, Bang's disease and sterility of certain herds
also caused a decrease in numbers. As a result of the breeding of beifers,
the plan for cows vas exceeded. The sale of older saws caused the decrease in
the number of sows. The breeding results even in prize herds varied consider-
ably (according to Land results on hand). For example, Brandenburg, raised
only 12 out of every 15 pigs born, a loss of 17.8 percent. Sheep as veil as
ewes Increased because of good breeding results.
C. Cison ofVE Yields With Others
The situation in the VEG has improved decidedly. This is shown by the
following hectare yields in comparison with the hectare yields of other farms:
