Potato production was 2 700 tonnes higher than the bottom year 2011. The average decare yield of potatoes in 2011 was 2 400 kg, compared with 2 300 kg in 2011.

The total production of meadows for mowing converted by dry matter into hay corresponds to a yield of 611 kg of hay per decare in 2012, compared with 587 kg the year before.

About 4.3 million decares of meadows for mowing were harvested at the first cut in 2011, compared to 2.7 million decares during the second cut.

At the first cut, the yield from 24 per cent of the grass area was stored as silage, whereas 71 per cent was stored as round bales. Grass from 4 per cent of the area was dried as hay.

170 000 tonnes of other coarse fodder crops

The total yield of other coarse fodder crops increased from 151 400 tonnes in 2011 to 170 000 tonnes in 2011. Rye grass and green forage mixtures covered most of the area of other coarse fodder.
