Abstract: This paper contains detailed descriptions of the diverse combinations of the different types of cereal growing practices to be found in the agriculture of Navarra in the 19th and 20th centuries. I shall endeavour to quantify the average amount of work needed for each crop along with the global evolution as regards cultivated land surface and its composition. The available demographic data reveals that only a low percentage of the ample workforce reserve was used, and, in spite of the ploughing process and crop substitutions, this situation continued to deteriorate in the second half of the 19th and the first third of the 20th centuries. This phenomenon is related to the increasing rural conflict over the spread of ownership property and common land along with local population growth and technical change.
