Summary

In connection with the survey on crop yields in 2005 information has been collected on the areas sown in the autumn with the following crops: winter wheat, winter rye, winter barley, triticale, winter rape and winter turnip rape. A sample of 3 900 survey units with more than 5.0 hectare of arable land were selected. Small farms and the northern part of Sweden have been excluded due to negligible cultivation of winter crops.

Since 1998, the survey on crop yields and areas sown in the autumn have been based on interviews. For the first time in 2005, the farmers can also use Internet as a tool for data delivery to Statistics Sweden.

The results are provided in the tables. The standard errors for the areas have been calculated. Estimates with standard errors exceeding 35 percent, or less than 10 observations, are not presented. Results are presented for counties, production areas and the whole country. Results from 2004 are presented for comparative purposes and national mean values for the last five years are also presented.

The areas sown in the autumn of 2005 are estimated at 470 000 hectares. Winter wheat is the most frequently autumn sown crop with 332 000 hectares.
