The Ministry of Agriculture proposed a new calculation of damage to agricultural land. The agricultural department published a draft decree on a new method for calculating the extent of damage caused to agricultural land. The document will enter into force on September 1, 2027. What will change: The new document solves a long-standing problem for livestock farmers, as it takes into account the temporary increase in nitrate levels or microbiological contamination of the soil after the introduction of animal by-products. Today, the land damage is calculated using the old methodology of the Ministry of Natural Resources No. 238. But after PPZH was allowed to be used as fertilizers, inspectors began to penalize farmers for the increased nitrate content due to such fertilizers. It is known that after the introduction of PPZ the level of these substances can indeed increase temporarily. However, nitrates quickly leave the soil, and within a season everything is back to normal. The new methodology will allow us to take this into account and calculate the damage only after re-sampling. The cash calculation formula varies. A separate methodology for agricultural land links the amount to the cadastral value of the site (or to the average for the municipality, if there is no data in the United State Registry), to the area of ​​damage and to the determined coefficients. Public discussions on the document will continue until November 7, 2026. Agronomy in Telegram | up to MAX.
