The task of agricultural advisers is to help farmers adjust to new economic conditions. The article presents actions launched by agricultural advisers within the Project of Developing Private Dairy Farms, which was implemented on the territory of the commune Turosl in 1990-1997. The author writes about the beginnings of this initiative and presents the objectives and individual stages of the project's implementation. He emphasizes the role played by the Project's advisers in introduction of new technologies in dairy farms and modernization of these farms. He also describes the most important changes that occurred in the organization and operation of dairy farms, drawing attention to the transfer of innovative solutions from farms which participated in the project to other dairy farms.The author presents also the opinions of farmers participating in the programme about the work of the Project's advisers.

In step with the European Union's new budget perspective for 2014-2020 changes will be taking place in the Common Agricultural Policy. One of these changes will be the liquidation of the system of milk production quotas. It is predicted that in the result of the liquidation of the quota system the production of milk on the EU market will grow, which is likely to lead to a decrease in its procurement price. The article marks an attempt at determining the future economic situation of dairy farms, which is certain to be affected by the indicated changes. Research was conducted on the basis of model farms specializing in milk production and representing different volumes of production. In order to determine the income situation of the examined farms in 2014 and 2020 definite assumptions relating to the future costs of production means, productivity and milk procurement prices were adopted. The results of the simulation have shown that between 2014 and 2020 the incomes of all the analysed farms will decrease. The greatest fall will be experienced by farms having the smallest herds of dairy cows. Their operation will be barely profitable. The rest of the analysed model farms may record in 2020 a decline in profitability of between 20% and 30% in comparison with 2014. Such situation will compel milk producers to take strategic decisions concerning the possibilities of their further operation.

The aim of the paper is to describe the economic effectiveness in specialized dairy farms in 2012. Agricultural holdings were grouped according to dairy herd size and FADN region. The study was conducted in 1 233 family farms located in Poland. The results show that the economic effectiveness of milk farms varied regionally. Agricultural holdings keeping more than 50 LU of dairy cows obtained the highest values of output profitability, sale profitability and net worth profitability. Farms keeping 10–15 LU of dairy cows were unprofitable.

The objective of this paper is to identify the occurrence of unfair trading practices (UTPs) in Slovakia’s milk agro-food supply chain. Based on survey data we aim to find out what UTPs are used at different stages of contract execution. We investigated the trade relationships between milk producers (dairy farms) and milk processors. Our results show that the weakest point of a business relationship, most exposed to UTPs is the phase of the contract negotiation. “No safeguard defined if the purchaser fails to fulfil the contract” is considered as the most common unfair trade practice by farmers. The highest incidence of UTPs is observed in the group of farms delivering more than 2 mil. litres of milk per year, especially when trading with big processor (dairies with annual sales more than 50 mil. EUR).
