This table contrasts the yields of the most important crops with the areas under cultivation. The data are taken from official yield estimation statistics, the Land Use Survey and the General Agricultural Structure Survey and were compiled to answer the following research question: How does cultivated area and thus land use in Germany and the regions change with changes in yields? Yields and acreage for the following crops are included: Winter wheat, rye and winter meslin, winter barley, spring barley, oats, triticale, potatoes, sugar beets, winter rapeseed, silage maize. The areas additionally contain data on the totals of arable land as a whole, cereals, root crops, forage crops and commercial crops.
