In EnglishSummary Summary
In
connection with the survey on crop yields in 2006 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. Since 2005, the farmers can also use Internet as a tool for data
provision 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 2005 are presented for comparative
purposes and national mean values for the last five years are also presented. The areas
sown in the autumn of 2006 are estimated at 462 000 hectares. Winter wheat
is the most common autumn-sown crop with 322 000 hectares. Areas of winter rape, 54 000 hectares, are the largest since 1994 and 45 percent more than the average for the previous five years.
