W/l Informativer_Report_on the field economy _ Qekonomie_des_Gutes_Lana._ General information. The economic administration manages two estates, Lana and Ploccau, with a total area of 343 hectares of arable land and an agricultural distillery in Lana. As a result of the soil conditions, medium clay soils prevail in the Lana estate, and heavy clay soil in the Ploskau estate up to loamy loady soils. The altitude of 4l5-430 m points to the area of intensive cereal production. In this field of field production, since the last two years, the product has been mainly oriented towards the propagation of highly refined seed greeds, of fodder and oil seeds. In the pealing of animal production, the farm Lana has introduced an intensive dairy industry with the removal of calves and the pig fattening that has just been introduced for the purpose of expanding pig farming on the good. Furthermore, a poultry farming of white leghorn chickens has been introduced here. In addition to eggs for consumption, their production is intended mainly to supply chickens and hatching eggs for newly emerging poultry farming with foreign breeders. In the farm Ploskau, the rearing of young breeding cattle, a pig breeding as well as the sheep breeding and foal breeding introduced 2 years ago is carried out. Due to its location, the farm Pleskau is particularly suitable for the keeping of breeding material and therefore, in previous years, pastures have been set up at this farm, where the grazing farming of breeding animals is carried out, e.g. not only for the achievement of the best physical development of the animals, but also for the sake of sparing rearing. A pure-bred breeding of the German noble pig and the refined domestic pig is carried out in the see-wine breeding. For the purpose of pure conservation of the breed, the status of the breeding sows and the breeding sire is determined as necessary by buying such animals Mmin f St. M. $\ -65 4}
