Rozwój czy zaniechanie produkcji mleka w przeciętnych polskich gospodarstwach mlecznych? - rozważania modelowe

The main purpose of the paper is to present the linear modelling approach of advised actions which should be undertaken on the average family farm in order to ensure the most effective use of the production factors and to maximize an income for the farmer and his family. It was concluded that the continuous increase of the labour prices outside the agriculture and enlargement of the land prices will stimulate resignation (especially young farmers) from milk production development at the farm. More rational action in this conditions would be development of a market crop production (especially at farms with good soils) or quitting farming at all. Current agricultural policy instruments does not stimulate development of the average dairy farms.
