It was stated that with an economic increase of the economic size developmental possibilities increase which is indicated by positive average correlation between these variables. In the best situation, regarding developmental possibilities are large farms having 12 times more possibilities than small farms. Significant differences in developmental possibilities between analysed groups of farms were stated. Significant differences were not stated in the amount of direct subsidies.
