To whom and on what terms

The municipality’s Rural Livelihood Authority declares an area free of wild oats if no wild oats are sighted during inspections of two consecutive years. If wild oats are not found during the first year’s inspection, the holder of the area does not need to renew the inspection request the following year.

The municipal Rural Livelihood Authority can declare an area free of wild oats without an inspection if the area has continuously been cultivated with grass during the previous ten growing periods, no wild oats have been found in the area and no control instructions or plans have been issued for it.

If the trader is established in another EEA state and provides services in Finland on a temporary basis, they are required to have the same permits as the traders established in Finland.

The inspection cannot be carried out if

  • oat, turnip rape, oilseed rape, mustard, rye, caraway, potato, pea, broad bean, hemp, maize or grassland is cultivated on the basic field or the field is fallow
  • wild oats control has been carried out on the field (includes weeding by hand)
  • the field has been mowed or is severely lodged

Deadline

It is advisable to order an inspection of an area free of wild oats in connection with the application for agricultural subsidies, i.e., by June 9. It can also be ordered in free form without a time limit.
