Historical Field Blocks in NRW

A field block represents a contiguous agricultural area surrounded by permanent borders, which is ordered by one or more farmers with one or more crop species, wholly or partially decommissioned or wholly or partially withdrawn from production. The field blocks are classified separately according to the main soil uses of arable land, grassland, permanent crops, 2. Pillar and others. Since 2005, field blocks in North Rhine-Westphalia have been part of the Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS) for EU agricultural support. The current database is retrieved once a day.
