The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of technical equipment with regard to nett commodity production and the amount of subsidy in family farms. In the years 2004-2009, 70 family farms were studied and grouped according to: amount of subsidies, area of arable land, economic size units and business income. The analysis of the relationship between production outputs and inputs made it possible to assess the effectiveness of the used means of mechanization. The effectiveness of use of technical equipment (Revenue Unit RU/costs of use of machines) increased with an increase in the amount of subsidy and the difference between the highest and the lowest amount was more than threefold. The index of the effectiveness of agricultural technical equipment (amount of subsidy/cost of using machines) was the highest in farms: area of 50-70 ha AR, amount of subsidy 100-150 thousand PLN and economic size 16-40 ESU. Effectiveness with respect to the amount of subsidy and the replacement value of machines was the highest in farms with the highest values of the grouping criteria.

Celem pracy jest porównanie prowadzenia pozarolniczej działalności gospodarczej przez osoby objęte powszechnym systemem ubezpieczeń społecznych i ubezpieczeniem społecznym rolników w latach 2013-2017. W pierwszym przypadku uwzględniono ubezpieczenia emerytalne, rentowe, chorobowe, wypadkowe i zdrowotne oraz składki na fundusz pracy. Ubezpieczenia społeczne rolników określono na podstawie ubezpieczeń emerytalno-rentowych, chorobowych, wypadkowych i macierzyńskich. Miesięczne składki na ubezpieczenia społeczne osób prowadzących pozarolniczą działalność gospodarczą były ponadtrzykrotnie wyższe w powszechnym systemie ubezpieczeń (ZUS). Natomiast po uwzględnieniu składek na ubezpieczenia zdrowotne i fundusz pracy pięciokrotnie przewyższały koszty ubezpieczeń społecznych rolników (KRUS). Udział składek na ubezpieczenia społeczne i zdrowotne w dochodach osób rozpoczynających pozarolniczą działalność gospodarczą był ponaddwukrotnie wyższy niż w dochodach osób ubezpieczonych w KRUS.

The aim of the study was to determine the connections between usage costs of means of mechanization and the outlays on working current assets in a family farm. The study group was divided according to the amount of subsidy, area of arable land, economic size unit (ESU) and the farm’s income. The ratio of usage costs of means of mechanization to outlays on working current assets is 40%. In farms with a higher amount of subsidy and economic size unit we observed a significant decrease in the ratio of usage costs of mechanization to outlays on working current assets. The highest outlays on working current assets are present in farms with the highest area and economic output. These groups had the lowest (23 and 13%) ratio of usage costs of mechanization to outlays on working current assets.

The aim of the study was to determine the influence of selected factors on the usage efficiency of subsidies by family farms participating in support programs of the European Union. In the years 2004-2009, 70 farms from the Biłgoraj County were studied, they were divided into groups according to: the amount of subsidy, the area of arable land, their economic size, and business income. The following measures were used: employment, stocking density, intensity of organization of production, business income and family income. Farms with intensive organization of production received subsidies of up to five times more than extensive ones. Efficiency of business income increased with an increase in the selected criteria, with the highest in farms of an area over 70 ha AL and ESU over 40. Multiple linear regression confirms that the usage efficiency of EU subsidies for technical modernization depends on the farm area and its economic size and the rational application and use of farming technology in a given production process.

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of the studied factors on the process of technical modernization of holdings in a statistical approach. In 2004-2009 we studied 70 holdings from the Biłgoraj region which benefited from EU subsidies for technical modernization. The evaluation of the relationship between variables was based on Pearson’s correlation coefficients. We analysed the flow of energy expenditure and the amount of subsidies on economic efficiency and the technical modernization of holdings. The results were subjected to analysis of variance to determine the significance of differences of the mean values for the adopted criteria for the categorisation of holdings. The resulting correlation coefficients between selected variables indicate that agricultural technology is not a factor significantly associated with the effects of management : production of goods or the net income of the business. The statistical evaluation shows a high and significant correlation coefficient for the replacement value of means of mechanization and the installed power, and a weaker link between input (kWh ha -1 UR) at a high, although negative, relationship between the cost of mechanization and the size of arable area of a holding.

The aim of the study is to determine maintenance costs of technical equipment and their influence on business income. In the years 2004-2009 70 agricultural farms were studies in the Biłgoraj County which used EU subsidies for technical modernisation. The annual average usage of means of technical resources in agriculture is presented as the number of working hours per machine. In order to determine maintenance costs of technical resources, the group of farms under study was divided according to the amount of subsidy, to the area of the arable land, to the economic size unit (ESU) and to the income of the farm. The gross income of an agricultural business is calculated as the balance difference between the net value of the production of goods as well as other revenues and direct and indirect costs (gross added value), less taxes, insurance, benefits and other non-material production expenses. The group ordered according to the amount of subsidies showed that greatest maintenance costs in the category of 50 thousand PLN and 50-100 thousand PLN. With a growth of the amount of subsidy, area of AL and the economic size unit saw a simultaneous increase in the maintenance costs. Maintenance costs per one hectare of arable land decrease with an increase in the amount of subsidy, area of AL and the economic size. Whereas an increase in the business income resulted in a simultaneous increase of maintenance costs.
