The farming plots where divided by generational succession in smaller and smaller plots with irregular shapes. Nowadays the machine use in farming demands for more gridlike plots. We will see if Andersens idea will produce the effective results we expect.n_wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773490632449027057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6660449454323008959.post-41210028576292546592010-06-18T13:28:32.971-05:002010-06-18T13:28:32.971-05:00This is an interesting approach for having organiz...This is an interesting approach for having organized and efficient plots of farming land.<br /><br />In real life in my own area farmers used to have irregular shaped and small patches of land, where one farmer would have several plots spread out in the local area, sometimes in the family for centuries. Then halfway last century we had the 'ruilverkaveling', which roughly translates to 'plotswapping', where in basicly all land owned by a farmer got measured, and he got a new plot of single land, (or two) that would have the same size as his former small plots all together, and this way the small patches changed into the regular rectangles we have now.<br /><br /> Its interesting to see how the farmers here kind of got forced to have a similar land use from the start, that Morten andersen is a smart guy!Shilkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999433092156740486noreply@blogger.com
