Tridge summary

The article outlines the significant changes to come in the new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), effective from January 1, 2023, with specific changes taking effect on January 1, 2024. These changes include the end of the single-succession ban and the prohibition of monoculture, meaning farmers can no longer grow the same crop on the same parcel multiple times due to increased concerns about depleting cereal and oil crop supplies. However, certain exceptions, such as wheat-barley rotation, will be permitted due to the crops belonging to different genera. Furthermore, livestock farms that alternate between ryegrass and silage or grain maize will also comply with the new regulations. The article also mentions that compliance with these new rules will be assessed for the first time in 2025, focusing on the 2024 farming campaign.

The same goes for vetch, field bean and broad bean, which are all three of the Vicia genus. Wheat-barley and ryegrass-corn allowed On the other hand, wheat-barley rotation will be possible, because they belong to different genera and therefore allow to obey the change of crop. For livestock farms that sow ryegrass in November and silage or grain maize in spring, there are no problems because the ...
