The detailed studies covered 9 farms, belonging to three different productive types (three farms in each type). On the grounds of detailed description and data analysis, the following parameters characterizing the studied farms were determined: natural (quality of soils), productive (crop yields, livestock density and performance) and economic (gross and net production, gross and net agricultural income) ones.
