Agricultural benchmark
The agricultural comparability index (LTR) describes the approximate agricultural or horticultural profitability of a farm on the basis of the adopted on 16 October 1934 Law on the Evaluation of the farming region .
The calculation of the LVZ includes factors such as:
- Soil fertility ( soil points )
- general soil conditions
- Soil quality
- climatic conditions
- Watering the soil
- use
- Company size
- Removal of the surfaces from the company headquarters
This system enables the most objective possible assessment, as well as a sufficiently good comparability between different companies.
The LVZ is also included in subsidies for agricultural operations.
