Soil quality
The cadastre score, field by field
Agricultural land has a quality score in points. Compare land before you visit. A score of 0 means the parcel was not assessed.
Under one switch
Six layers for a field
Soil quality
The cadastre gives agricultural land a quality score in points. Higher is better. A score of 0 means the parcel was not assessed.
Drainage systems

Declared fields
Fields declared to the Rural Support Service for EU area payments this year, with the crop.
Groundwater
Modelled depth to groundwater from the Latvian State Forest Research Institute "Silava", based on laser relief. A model, not a measurement.
Peat
Peat deposits from the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre.
Hogweed
Areas invaded by giant hogweed, surveyed by the State Plant Protection Service from 2007 to 2016.

Check these yourself
What the registers cannot tell you.
- Who maintains a drainage system, its condition, pumping stations and dams.
- Whether land is on the list of uncultivated farmland, which raises property tax.
- Current hogweed records. The layer shows surveys from 2007 to 2016.
- The official peat map. Our peat layer merges two different boundaries.
- Measured groundwater levels. The groundwater layer is a model.
