33It must also be noted that that definition does not make any distinction between grass and certain herbaceous forage, so that all grasses and all other herbaceous forage are part of one single category which is not subdivided. It is clear from the wording ‘land used to grow grasses or other herbaceous forage’ in that definition that all varieties of herbaceous forage are considered as equivalent for the purposes of Article 2(c) of Regulation No 1120/2009 and that the choice of the specific variety of herbaceous plant grown on the land concerned does not, in itself, have any effect on the classification of that land as ‘permanent pasture’. The fact that that wording includes grasses and other herbaceous forage thus shows that ‘crop rotation’, within the meaning of that provision, takes place only where a crop other than herbaceous forage is grown.
