In order to be recorded, the production of fodder crops must be part of an economic activity.

oilseeds, protein crops, dried fodder

Other predominantly annual fodder crops (e.g. vetches, green maize, cereals harvested and/or green, leguminous plants).

root crops (sugar beet, fodder beet, swedes, fodder turnips, fodder carrots, fodder kale/curly kale and other root crops);

Accommodation may be provided for livestock owned by another farmer or the livestock may be the property of an industrial enterprise, usually a supplier (e.g. a manufacturer of/trader in fodder crops) or a purchaser (e.g. an abattoir),

until such time, which should not be later than 1 January 1970, as a common catalogue of varieties can be introduced, restrict the marketing of fodder plant seed to those varieties which are entered in a national list based on value for cropping and use in their territory;

Whereas there should be approval for commercial seed in order to take into account the fact that not all genera and species of fodder plant of importance for cropping have as yet produced either the desired varieties or sufficient quantities of seed of the existing varieties to meet all the needs of the Community;

The guide price referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1117/78 on the common organization of the market in dried fodder, applicable in Spain on 1 March 1986, shall be fixed on the basis of the variations which exist between the prices of competitive products in rotation cropping in Spain and in the Community as at present constituted over a reference period to be determined.

The guide price referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1117/78 on the common organization of the market in dried fodder, applicable in Portugal on 1 March 1986, shall be fixed on the basis of the variations which exist between the prices of competitive products in rotation cropping in Portugal and in the Community as at present constituted over a reference period to be determined.

The sums paid for the purchase of standing crops or for the rental of land for less than one year should be given under headings 65 to 67 (purchased feedingstuffs) in the case of grassland or fodder crops and under heading 76 {other specific crop costs) in the case of marketable crops (products which are usually marketed).

Arable crops declared as fodder - areas for beef - and sheep premia

Accommodation may be provided for livestock owned by another farmer or the livestock may be the property of an industrial enterprise, usually a supplier (e.g. a manufacturer of/trader in fodder crops) or a purchaser (e.g. an abattoir),

DFE Ordinance of 7 December 1998 on seeds and seedlings of species of arable crops and fodder plants (RO 1999 781)

(c) in respect of which no payments under the support system laid down for farmers producing certain arable crops, under the aid system for dried fodder and under Community aid schemes for other permanent or horticultural crops are claimed for the same year.

areas qualifying for the support system laid down for the producers of certain arable crops, used for the aid scheme for dried fodder or subject to a national or Community set-aside scheme.

- areas qualifying for the support system laid down for the producers of certain arable crops, used for the aid scheme for dried fodder or subject to a national or Community set-aside scheme.

- areas qualifying for the support system laid down for the farmers producing certain arable crops, used for the aid scheme for dried fodder or subject to a national or Community set-aside scheme.

Undertakings processing their own crops or those of their members shall each year submit to the competent body of their Member State, before a date to be set, a declaration of the areas from which the fodder crop is to be processed.

Undertakings which process their own crops or, in the case of groups those of their members shall submit annual declarations of the areas the fodder harvest of which is to be processed to the competent authorities of the Member States by a date to be determined.

- area payments to farmers, to be granted per hectare of forage area, which is available to a farmer during the calendar year concerned and in respect of which no payments are claimed for the same year under the support system for farmers producing certain arable crops, under the aid system for dried fodder and under Community aid schemes for other permanent or horticultural crops;

General cropping i. e. cereals, pulses, potatoes, sugar beet, fodder roots and brassicas, industrial plants, fresh vegetables, melons, strawberries - open field, forage plants, arable land seed and seedlings, other arable land crops, non-forage successive secondary crops and fallow land subject to set-aside incentive schemes with no economic use > 2/3

Whereas, in order to avoid any risk of double payment, it is appropriate to exclude all of the products benefitting from the aid of arable crops listed in Annex I of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (2), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, with the exception of sweet lupins until the flowering stage, from the scope of the aid for dried fodder;

2. Where a contract as referred to in point (c)(i) of Article 10 is a special-order contract for processing of fodder delivered by a producer, it shall specify at least the area from which the crop is to be delivered and include a clause containing an obligation for the processing undertakings to pay the producer the aid as provided for in Article 4 and received for the quantity processed under the contract.
