In most cases the low point of production was reached in 1920, 
while 1921 shows a turn for the better. 
It is significant that as the acreage of cereals has decreased (19.4 per 
cent in 1921) the areas under forage and fodder crop's have increased 
9.3 per cent. It is natural that the Austrian farmer soon learned 
the futility of saving the currency that he received in exchange 
for his farm products since the purchasing power of the Austrian 
crown was continually dropping. He began to diminish the seeding 
of crops to be sold for spot cash and to increase his wealth in other 
ways.
