ABSTRACT

The research was concerned with assessment of the level of income from family
farms specialized in arable crops in the years 2014–2020. The analysis
assumed a stochastic nature of yields of chosen crops and their prices on the
basis of historic data. Using data and measures of the Polish FADN, five models
of farms were created and simulations were carried out addressing also the problem
of the influence of implementation of agricultural practices beneficial for the
climate and the environment on the economic situation of farms. The obtained
results indicate that nominal income from the family farm in the majority of
farms will remain at the level similar to the income in the year 2014. Agricultural
practices beneficial for the climate and the environment, as the new instrument
of Common Agricultural Policy, may influence both the structure of crops and
the economic situation only in the case of farms of the biggest acreage.

Key words: risk, variability of yields, variability of prices of agricultural products, greening.
