Abstract:

In this paper there has been presented a large group of so called progressive farms (AB) with animal production, that focus on cattle. This group consists of two separate categories defined as developing farms (A), and potentially developing farms (B). Category 'A farms' - describes agricultural entities with both - significant production potential and scale of production. Such farms are expansive, often leading and clearly developing, they invest in land or other fixed assets, and use the UE structural funds. Whereas, 'B farms' category includes farms with rather small or medium production potential, which at the same time are still market orientated. Such entities invest rather small amounts of money in technical equipment and usually remain passive on the land market
