4 Pig Stock In Rural Districts Of Germany (2007) Bäurle 2008

5 How Our Pig Farms Look Like The structure of pig husbandry in the northwest has a very wide range and the avarage says nearly nothing about the reality! Most farms are based on a family working constitution, but in the last ten years the employee demand has grown (less than 10% of the farms)! There are a lot of farmers with small stocks, who have the main income outside (about 30% of the livestock owner) and without perspective for the future! A second group of owner (especially in piglet production) with medium stocks have no follower in the family, so that they will close their farm in the next ten years! Sustainable size starts at about 200 sows or fatteners with the need to grow up in the next years, mostly combined with crop farming (about 30% of the livestock owner)! A small group of livestock owner ist already today fit for the future: They have more than 400 sows or more than fatteners, often employees, but often also a bad livestock to cropland relation!

10 What s To Consider In German Pig Branch Analysis Germany has a special system of sales tax for agriculture! Different from any other sector of commerce and industry, the collected sales tax will not be set off against the spent input tax! Therefore sales tax is on the one side income and input tax on the other side costs! Because of the different hight of sales (10,7%) and input tax (7% & 19%) there is a financal advantage in pig production of about 3,50 Euros per fattener and 12,00 Euros per sow! This advantage in sales tax will only be granted, when the livestock husbandry is in a fixed relation to the cropland regulated with the so called Vieheinheiten (VE)!

22 4.) Our Society Problem

23 The Society Don t Want More! The district of Vechta slams on the brake because of new buildings for livestock!

24 Changing German Building Legislation What s now: Until today - as well as agricultural (combination with cropland) or as non agricultural planning - it is no problem to get a building permission in the undeveloped outskirt area! The German building legislation gives the right to built stables in this area because of the special environmetal effects! The municipality has nearly no possibilities to prevent this building activities even not if there is big protest from the residents! The future: There is the attempt t to change building legislation l this way, that t only agricultural plannings can get a permission in the undeveloped outskirt area! This implys, that all non agricultural plannings would need an urbanistic planning process and would only get a permission with the consens of the municipality!
