Agricultural fair Norla: Larger farms, fewer animals Agriculture is changing

The article reports on the 76th annual Norla Agricultural and Consumer Fair in Rendsburg, focusing on developments in agriculture, food, and renewable energy. It highlights trends in Schleswig-Holstein’s agricultural sector, noting that while the number of farms has decreased significantly, from 39,603 in 1970 to 11,320 in 2025, the average size per farm has increased. The article cites data showing a decline in livestock numbers, particularly pigs, which dropped from over 1.8 million in 1980 to around 980,000 in recent years. Milk production remains a crucial part of the region’s agricultural economy, contributing roughly a third of total sales. The piece emphasizes the need for adaptation due to climate change, cost pressures, and regulatory changes.
