Saxony-Anhalt
I don't get this part: " with the rye being grown near Borde, where it is used to make Burger Knäckebrot". Börde is a whole region or district (not a place) and is dominated by agriculture. Therefore something would grow in this region not near. The soil is very fertile there, which is often used to grow wheat and sugar beets, and increasingly rape and corn. Rye is less demanding (but less productive compared to wheat) and therefore is usually grown outside of the Börde region. And finally, Burger Knäcke is still produced in Burg, which is not situated in Börde district. That's why I have no clue, what is actually meant in the sentence mentioned above.--Zarbi1 (talk) 17:05, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
