A. GEOGRAPHICAL SITUATION OF THE HOLDING

The holding and all the information relating to it is taken as being in that district where the headquarters of the holding is situated (A/01).

HEADQUARTERS OF THE HOLDING

The headquarters of the holding is defined according to Member States' own rules.

A/01 DISTRICT I. The districts for the purpose of this survey are made up as follows: >PIC FILE= "T9000632"> (1)The following are not considered here: - common land allotted to the holding (C/03),

• common land which has been rented out (C/02).

(2)Single-product group holdings are where separate holdings put together their resources for one particular farm enterprise to form a distinct joint enterprise run separately from the "parent" holdings (e.g. common orchard or a common cattle lot) (partial fusion).

B. LEGAL PERSONALITY OF THE HOLDING

B/01 THE PERSON LEGALLY OR ECONOMICALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HOLDING, (HEREAFTER CALLED THE HOLDER) I. The holder of the holding is that (natural or legal) person in whose name the holding is operated. The holder can own the holding outright or rent it or be a hereditary long-term lease-holder or a usufructuary or a trustee.

II. The holder may have delegated all or part of the power of decision to a manager.

If on one holding two or more natural persons carry out the functions of holder only one of them is shown as such (e.g. the one who bears the greatest share of the risk or who takes the main part in managing the holding. If such criteria still fail to pick out one individual the choice should be based on some other criterion, such as age);

In the case of share farming the share farmer is shown as holder.

B/01 NATURAL PERSON I. For the purpose of this heading a natural person may be either a single individual or a group of individuals.

II. The following, inter alia, are to be regarded as groups of individuals : married couples, siblings, joint beneficiaries under a will or intestacy, etc.

B/02 MANAGER OF THE HOLDING I. The person responsible for the normal daily running of the holding concerned.

II. The manager is generally but not always the same person as the holder. In the latter case the holder has charged someone else, for example a member of his family, with the running of the holding.

One person only is taken as the manager. In the case where more than one person takes part in the normal daily running of the holding, then the person who takes the greatest part is considered as the manager. If this part is equally divided the necessary distinction may be made on the basis of age.

C. TYPE OF TENURE

C/01-03 AGRICULTURAL AREA UTILIZED I. The total area taken up by arable land, permanent pasture, permanent crops and subsistence plots.

II. Type of tenure-special cases 1. Where a "single-product group holding" is treated as an independent holding (see "agricultural holdings", point 2.5) the total agricultural area of the group-holding is attributed to the person named as holder (B/01-II) but given the type of tenure under which it is held by the "parent" holding.

1. Land in co-ownership or leased and worked by several holdings, but which does not constitute a "single-product group-holding" is treated as relating to the holder who takes the greatest part in running it but each part is given the type of tenure under which it is held by the parent holding.

C/01 OWNER FARMED AGRICULTURAL AREA I. Agricultural land being farmed as part or all of the holding being surveyed and which is the property of the holder or farmed by him as usufructuary or heritable long-term lease holder or under some other equivalent type of tenure.

II. Land allotted to a farm worker (for his own cultivation) as part of his wage is allocated to the holding making the allotment, unless the farm worker uses his own means of production.

Parcels of land retained by the former holder (see "Agricultural holding", point 2.2) are allocated to the main holding if worked with that holding.

However, grazing rights on common grazing land are not included ; e.g. on common land belonging to the parish or to a cooperative (such areas, not being part of a holding, are not covered in this survey).

C/02 TENANT-FARMED AGRICULTURAL AREA I. Land, rented by the holding in general for a period of at least 12 months and in return for a fixed rent agreed in advance, (in cash, kind or otherwise) and for which there is a (written or oral) tenancy agreement.

II. The rented land can consist of: - a complete holding;

• individual parcels of land.

Parcels of land or holdings rented from members of the holder's family are included here if these areas are farmed as part of the holding surveyed. Also included is land belonging to another holding but worked by the holding under survey in return for a certain number of hours of labour but not land put at the disposal of a farm-worker as a form of wage (1).

Land worked by the holding as conacre "11 month land" or as "zaaiklaar gehuurd land" (land ready for sowing rented for a year) also comes under this heading.

Rented land which has been sublet is not included, since it does not constitute part of the holding surveyed.

C/03 AGRICULTURAL AREA SHARE-FARMED OR UNDER OTHER MODES I. (a) Share-farmed agricultural area

Land (which may constitute a complete holding) farmed in partnership by the landlord and the share-cropper under a written or oral share-farming contract. The production of the share cropped area is shared between two parties on an agreed basis.

(b) Agricultural area utilized under other modes of tenure

Other modes of tenure not covered by C/01, C/02, C/03 (a).

II. This includes inter alia: 1. Land over which the holder enjoys rights by virtue of his occupancy of a particular post (forester, priest, teacher, etc.) except in Italy where such land is considered as being owner-farmed.

1. Land allotted to the holding by the parish or other organization, e.g. common grazing land apportioned on an acreage basis (as distinct from land over which common grazing rights are enjoyed), except in Italy where such land is considered as being owner-farmed. (1)As opposed to the case of land put at the disposal of a farm worker as a form of wage, which generally remains within the crop rotation system of the holding, a tenancy agreement of the type envisaged here will specify not merely the area of land concerned but also where it is and its exact boundaries.

1. Land which the holding works free of any charge (e.g. from derelict holdings being worked by the holding surveyed), except in Italy where such land is considered as being tenant farmed.

1. "Colonia parziaria" - of complete holdings and of individual parcels of land (1).

D. MANAGEMENT OF THE HOLDING AND MANAGER'S EDUCATION

D/01 ACCOUNTS I. Every systematic and regular record of revenue and expenditure which, when the books are closed at the end of the accounting period, enables the holding's income to be determined.

II. Even if the book-keeping activity only started part-way through the year ending on the day of survey, this is counted as book-keeping.

Intermittent jottings of particular proceedings in diaries or pocket books do not in themselves constitute bookkeeping. Neither do individual accounts of certain of the farm enterprises constitute in themselves bookkeeping in the sense required.

D/04/a COOPERATIVE OR OTHER SIMILAR AGRICULTURAL ORGANIZATION I. A cooperative is taken to be any organization so defined by the relevant Member State's laws. "Other similar agricultural organizations" are organizations whose legal basis is similar to that of cooperative associations.

II. For example, producer groups and similar organizations are included under this heading. U.K. Marketing Boards are not included.

By "use of agricultural equipment and machinery" (D/04/a, third indent) is understood solely the use by the agricultural holding of machines and equipment and not the use of cooperative banks, of artificial insemination centres, etc.

D/04/b PRODUCTION UNDER CONTRACT I. This implies the existence of a contract in writing between the agricultural producer and some other enterprise, normally an industrial or commercial enterprise, involving obligations on both parties. Such contracts are for the supply of agricultural products but may also provide for the supply of materials to the farmer.

The calculation of the proportion under contract is based on the value of the quantities to be supplied under contract compared with the value of the total output of the product concerned.

II. The contracts are concerned with matters such as the type, quantity, quality and/or price of the produce to be supplied and the period for delivery. (1)In "colonia parziaria" of complete holdings the grantor entrusts a farm to the head of a family, who undertakes to carry out with the aid of the members of his family (the farm family) all the work required on the holding and himself to bear part of the outgoings and to divide the farm's production with the grantor in fixed proportions. The members of the farm family are generally required to live on the farm. In "colonia parziaria" of individual parcels of land the grantor entrusts solely one or more parcels of land and the agreement does not cover the members of the grantee's family.

The following are to be regarded as "production under contract": 1. the raising of livestock under contract;

1. production under contracts between producers.

The following are excluded: 1. Compulsory deliveries pursuant to statutory requirements (e.g. in some countries milk producers are legally required to deliver to a particular buyer ; e.g. in the U.K. to the Milk Marketing Boards);

1. Supplies to cooperative associations required as a condition of membership.

D/05 MANAGER'S AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION I. Primary : attendance at an elementary course at an agricultural college;

Secondary : completion of a course in agricultural studies falling between the elementary and advanced (university) levels;

Advanced : completion of a course in agricultural studies of university level.

E to J LAND USE (1)

I. The agricultural area utilized for farming includes the areas under main crops for harvest in 1975.

Permanent crops and crops lasting several years (e.g. asparagus, strawberries or bushes) which have not yet reached a productive stage are treated as though they were already in production.

II. For the breakdown by land use of area farmed, each area is listed only once (2), the total area of the holding is given by adding together the areas under E to I.

During the period of survey an area can carry one or more crops. If more than one crop is carried the following cases have to be distinguished. 1. Two or more crops growing at the same time on arable land. In this case the area is split proportionately to the area of each crop (3).

This principle does not apply to mixed crops (these are crops grown and harvested together on the same ground e.g. mixed corn) ; nor to successive crops (e.g. barley undersown with clover for later harvesting).

A mixed crop is considered to be a single crop ; in the case of successive crops (point 3) there is always a main crop.

1. An arable crop with one or more permanent crops (association with permanent crops).

In each of the three possible types of combined cropping, i.e.: (1) combination of two or more permanent ligneous crops (4);

(2) combination of permanent ligneous crops with arable crops (4);

(3) combination of permanent ligneous crops with permanent pasture; (1)The reference numbers given in the definitions of items under headings E to H are based on the list of agricultural products (Annex II). (2)However in Italy separate area figures are recorded distinguishing between main and secondary crops according to the method used in the 1970 general census. (3)The commonest combinations of arable crops include : maize with potatoes, with haricot beans, with beet ; oats with fodder turnips, with vetches, with kidney beans ; barley with kidney beans. (4)The commonest combinations of ligneous crops and of such crops with arable crops include: vines with olives ; fruit trees with vines or with olives ; citrus fruit with olives, citrus fruit with fruit trees ; olives or vines with wheat ; vines with haricot beans, with vegetables ; olives with vegetables ; citrus fruit with vegetables.

which are characterized by the presence of a permanent crop, the whole of the area concerned is allocated to the main crop (1).

Land with dispersed, low-yielding fruit trees or bushes does not count as having a permanent crop.

1. Crops grown in succession on arable land or on land with permanent crops (successive crops). In this case the area of each successive crop is not calculated. The area is allocated to one crop taken as the main crop (2).

E/04 BARLEY (3) (4) (1)The main crop where during one harvest year several crops are grown simultaneously or in succession on an area is the crop the production of which has the highest value. If the value of production does not determine which is the main crop, then the main crop is taken as the one which occupies the ground for the longest time. (2)Thus in such cases the subsidiary crops are not taken account of, except in Italy. (3)Seed included. (4)Except cereals harvested or fed green (E/18).

E/05 OATS (1) (2) I. This heading also includes summer meslin.

E/06 GRAIN MAIZE (1) (2)

E/15, 17 and H/07 CROPS UNDER GLASS I. Crops which for the whole of their period of growth or for the predominant part of it are covered by glasshouses or frames, fixed or mobile glass or rigid or flexible plastic.

II. This excludes sheets of plastic laid flat on the ground, also land under cloches or tunnels or movable glass covered frames. Crops under fixed frames in the U.K. are excluded.

For mobile greenhouses or forcing houses or frames the area reported is the total area actually covered during 12 months, not merely the area covered by the installation at any one time.

Areas of crops which are grown partly under glass and partly in the open air are reported as entirely under glass, unless the period under glass is of extremely limited duration.

If the same area under glass is used more than once it is reported once only.

E/21 FALLOW LAND I. All land included in the crop rotation system, whether worked or not, but not producing a harvest for the duration of a crop year.

II. Fallow land is not to be confused with successive crops (J/02) and unutilized agricultural area (I/01). The essential characteristic of fallow land is that it is left to recover, normally for the whole of a crop year.

Fallow land may be: 1. bare land bearing no crops at all;

1. land with spontaneous natural growth, which may be used as feed or ploughed in;

1. land sown exclusively for the production of green manure.

II. Not included are: 1. pleasure gardens (parks and lawns) (I/03);

1. areas cultivated by collective households, for example research institutions, religious communities, boarding schools, prisons, etc. These areas count as an agricultural holding if such a holding, while linked to a collective household, is operated in such a way as to fulfil the other criteria of a holding ; they are classified according to their use.

G. PERMANENT PASTURE AND MEADOW

I. Land used by the holding, outside the crop rotation system, for the permanent production (five years or longer) of green forage crops, whether sown or self-seeded.

II. Pasture with trees or bushes comes under this heading if the land is used mainly for the production of fodder. Poor quality pasture (1), whether used intermittently or throughout the year, is also included in this category.

Pasture and hill or mountain grazings not normally used (2), are excluded (I/01).

H. PERMANENT CROPS

II. This category includes nurseries (except non-commercial nurseries of forest trees grown in woods, which are included under woodland), and plants used for plaiting or weaving (osier, reeds, rushes, etc. : H/06).

Permanent crops which are treated as vegetables or as ornamental plants or industrial plants (e.g. asparagus, roses, decorative shrubs cultivated for their blossom or leaves, strawberries, hops) are not included in this category.

H/01 FRUIT AND BERRY PLANTATIONS I. Areas containing trees and bushes for the production of fruit. Orchards may be of the continuous type with minimum spacing between trees or of the non-continuous type with large spacing, and may or may not contain other crops. (1)Such poor quality pasture land includes low-yield areas of rough grazing, for example heath, moorland, "deer forests" in Scotland or other rough land being used for grazing and incapable of improvement by normal means of cultivation. (2)"Pasture etc. not normally used" includes for example areas grazed from time to time by a flock of sheep and areas only used during occasional years with exceptional weather conditions, when there is little growth on the usual pastures or when there is unusual growth on the grazings not normally used.

(2) fallow land (E/21).

I/02 WOODLAND I. Areas covered with trees or forest shrubs, including poplar plantations inside or outside woods and forest-tree nurseries grown in woodland for the holding's own requirements.

II. Woodland includes all areas on the holding covered with trees or forest shrubs unless these areas are principally used for agricultural or other non-forestry purposes.

Wind-breaks, shelter-belts, hedgerows etc. should be included in so far as it is appropriate to regard them as woodland.

Christmas trees are included here, except for Belgium, where they are included under H/05.

II. This heading covers in particular: 1. areas not used directly for crop production but necessary for working the farm, such as ground occupied by buildings or roadways;

1. areas unsuitable for agricultural production, i.e. areas which can be cultivated only by extreme means which are not normally available on an agricultural holding ; for example, marshland, heaths, etc.;

1. pleasure gardens (parks and lawns).

J. COMBINED OR SUCCESSIVE CROPS

J/01 CROPS COMBINED WITH PERMANENT CROPS I. Crops growing together on the same land for a certain period during the 12-month reference period of the survey (see E - J Land Use), normally yielding clearly distinguishable products, at least one being a permanent crop (ligneous crop).
