The paper presents the results of research on the attitudes of young farmers to innovations and implementing changes in the farms. The study was conducted on a sample of 70 young farmers. Respondents identified themselves as quickly introducing innovations and are favourable for changes. The study was conducted in the southern Polish provinces – regions with the greatest fragmentation of the agrarian structure. These conditions largely determined the attitude of farmers to changes. Young farmers approached the news with caution. Their intention was to implement innovations that deliver measurable results, so those who has already been tested by pioneers (innovators).
