South Flevoland

To the south of East Flevoland is the younger South Flevoland polder, finally won back from the sea in 1968, with an area of 43,000 hectares/107,500 acres. Cultivation of the reclaimed land began only in 1978 and is not yet complete. On this polder the various stages of development can be seen, from the pre- cultivation measures carried out by the state by way of barley growing to the final phase in which wheat is grown.
