1. Sugar beets - spring barley / canned peas - wheat
2. Rape - wheat - wheat - spring seeding
3. Rape - rye - rye - rye

Due to the soil conditions and the considerable part of light soil Gisselfeld is today one of the biggest producers of rye for bread. Gisselfeld Agricultural Department is loosening the majority of the straw, thus - together with supplementary crops - achieving improved soil conditions. The superior objective of the production in the rotation of crops is products of high quality, using as few subsidiary materials (chemistry, fertilizer) as possible during cultivation. Along the streams, lakes, and other sensitive areas of Gisselfeld marginal zones have been established in order to protect the environment in the best possible way.
