The article describes changes in the direction of production in economically small (2-16 ESU) individual farms. The analysis was based on data of Polish FADN from selected group of farms conducting accounting for agriculture in 2005-2007. The studies have shown that in this period, the proportion of surveyed farms directed for mixed production was around 50%, and for plant and animal production – was approximately 25%. The share of farms with mixed production was gradually decreasing, and the two subsequent – increasing (with a predominance of farms oriented for crop production). Also estimated that over 90% of households cultivated cereals, and about 70% – breeding of dairy cows, but the number of both groups was gradually decreasing.
