I am an accountant by training, but in 2003 I decided to return to the village where I was born, and take
over my parents’ farm - a total of nine cows.

80 cattle, of which of which 40 are in milk and 40100 head we can be profitable.
![Page 5: Sebastian Aldea, Târnava Mare - Romania. I am an accountant by training, but in 2003 I decided to return to the village where I was born, and take over](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e855503460f94b8704e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
We work a total of 120 hectares of land, 60 ha grassland (grazing and meadows) and 60 ha arable.
60 ha grasslands:- 10 ha grazing land with 214.2- 45 ha rented for 50 Euros/ha, but I get 100Euros/ha- 5 ha I pay not rent but inactive owner received agri-environment payment

We produces 4000 liters of milk per animal/year
Our aim is to to achieve an average production of 6000 or even 7000 liters of milk per cow per year in the future. This will be by improving the genetics of the local breed Balțata Românească

We want to achieve improvements in 3 directions: cow quality;feed qualityhousing quality
At the moment farm profit is small because we invest all extra income in these 3 directions, as in increasing the size of our milking herd.

We get 0.33 Euro0.24 Euro
• Unfortunately the milk price fluctuates. We sell milk from our farm under contract with a processor; luckily we have our own milk collection tank, but the price is impossible to change because in most of the cases the processor owns the milk cooling tank used by the village.

For the new CAP:-cutting dates
Higher payment rates for haymeadows
Control system to prevent the abuses
![Page 14: Sebastian Aldea, Târnava Mare - Romania. I am an accountant by training, but in 2003 I decided to return to the village where I was born, and take over](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e855503460f94b8704e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Cap also should include:intensive farming;traditional farms;organic farms
payments should be somehow limited
better direct payments

Finally, I should say that a few years ago I had no idea what High Nature value grasslands were. As a result of the support for these grasslands, I understand their importance, and what should be done to protect them. This applies to hundreds of farmers in my area, and many thousands more widely.
