Usual Good Farming Practice

moduł 16.1, Usual Good Farming Practice means management standards including environmental protection, each rational farmer should meet. Following the usual good farming practice is the condition for receiving financial support resulting from Common Agricultural Policy instruments. Fertilizers should be used and stored in a way that is safe for the environment and without causing any harm to humans or animals. Wastewater and municipal waste are used to improve the soil, but may contain heavy metals and pathogenic organisms. Special care should be taken when using them, and only those that comply with the parameters specified in regulations are to be used. The farmer may only use pesticides at his farm that have been authorized for marketing and use.Pesticides applied improperly can cause damage to plants, soil, water and air pollution and pose a risk to human and animal health.Excessive grazing can cause water pollution and permanent damage to turf. In turn, land burning is a threat of the uncontrolled spread of fire and kills many small, useful animals, thus killing the ecosystem. Farmers are required to maintain cleanliness and order on the farm and to have facilities for collection of municipal waste. Farmers whose farms are located in protected areas are obliged to comply with the recommendations and orders resulting from their conservation plans. Incompetent farming leads to soil degradation, resulting in reduction of the organic substance, deteriorates the physical, chemical, aquatic and biological soil properties. Discharging wastewater to the soil and water causes the transfer of pollutants at considerable distances. The consequence is the systematic deterioration of the quality of surface and underground waters.

R: This cultivation has recently given plantation ownersplantation owners great economic benefits.
F: It’s not just the economics that interests me. It is said that grass cultivation helps improving soil properties.
R: Yes, grass leaves a good site for successive plantssuccessive plants.
F: What species would you suggest to me? Does it depend on the soil class?
R: Grasses grown for seeds should be sown intorich soilsrich soils, fertilefertile, not too acidic, with a thick topsoiltopsoil.
F: I have a field with such properties. Recently, I have carried out maintenance of the irrigation ditchditch draining the excess water from this area.
R: Very good.
F: So what should I do when choosing the species?
R: The period of time which you can withdraw your field from crop rotation is important.
F: Why?
R: Grasses for seeds are usually grown in three‑year cyclesthree‑year cycles: one year of sowing and two years of harvest. RyegrassRyegrass is cultivated in one- and two‑year short‑term cyclesshort‑term cycles.
F: I use crop rotation according to Good Farming PracticeGood Farming Practice.
R: I suggest ryegrass.
F: I have a field where I grew peas in the last growing season. Will it be useful for grass?
R: It's a bad forerunner. There may be a lot of nitrogen in the soil, which will causelodginglodging.
F: What are you suggesting?
R: I suggest the post after crucifer plants.
F: Could it be a rape seed field?
R: Yes of course.
F: What guarantee do I have that I will sell the crop?
R: We will sign a contract with you. An additional income will be generated by the sale of straw, which is aby‑productby‑product.
F: I'm afraid that the grass seed collection will interfere with other works.
R: It won’t, because the seeds are collected before the grain harvest.
F: It's a good news! With a large area of land I have to organize the use of labor and machinery properly.
