The current future curve of the wheat price should enable the farmer to realize a profit potential of around<br />

€ 700 per hectare (excl. subsidies) in 2012e and around € 670 in 2013e. This is a high level compared to<br />

the last years; the application of fertilizers is profitable.<br />

Assumptions: without agricultural subsidies, incl. interest expenses for pre-financing costs, 100% use of mineral fertilizers (no organic fertilizing), straw stays in the field (straw fertilizing);<br />

fertilizer use for 8 t/ha yield: 80 kg/ha MOP, 536 kg/ha KAS and 139 kg/ha TSP; for lower yields, lower fertilizer requirement adjusted accordingly; Sources: costs (20 ha) according to<br />

Kuratorium für Technik und Bauwesen in der Landwirtschaft e. V. (KTBL) for winter wheat – bread quality, rotating crop growing system; yield according to statistical year book for food<br />

nutrition, agriculture and forestry 2011 and 2012, 2013e: 10-year average; nutrient extractions according to Guidelines for Fertilizer Use in Germany; fertilizer prices taken from LAND & Forst<br />

at the point of the upcoming fertilization (general fertilization with potash and phosphate in September; nitrogen fertilization in September, February, April and June); wheat price (bread quality<br />

B) according to LAND & Forst (average delivery from the yard from July to February), 2012e and 2013e: Euronext price less transportation cost assumption.<br />
