"Proceeds" sounds like the money you get for selling your fruit. I'd interpret "Fruchtertrag" as the amount of crop (not necessarily fruit) that your land produces -- e.g. your "Fruchtertrag" one year might be 60 t.

My guess was "Einöden".

I interpreted it as the plural of a noun -- something like "wildernesses". (The singular is "Einöde".) Not a particularly common word, and I'm not entirely sure of the correct meaning. Cheers, -- Philip Newton <philip.newton@...>
