Villach, the western Rosental, the area west of Völkermarkt and the central
Carinthian area with the Klagenfurt basin. In the cadastral community of
Maria Saal, it was the second most cultivated cereal with more than a quar-
ter of the annual gross yield of all cereal cultivation, after rye. In some are-
as, such as Grafenstein in Central Carinthia or the cadastral community of
Treffen, where the annual requirement was calculated at 16.2 hectolitres for
ten people, it was used on an equivalent basis to other types of grain, such
as buckwheat or millet.
Maize was an important nutritional factor in these areas. However, it
was not only used as food for humans. In the area around Klagenfurt and
St. Veit an der Glan, the peasants were already using it for fattening pigs.
There it had become a true alternative to buckwheat, which it was slow-
ly displacing from the crop rotation system. In some cadastral commu-
nities in Kanaltal, such as Flitschl (Fličl, Plezzut,) und Lusnitz (Lužnice,
Lusnizza), maize was cultivated almost exclusively. Everywhere it became
an integral part of the weekly menu of the rural population. In the ca-
dastral communities of Edling and Spittal an der Drau they had Plenten
