Abstract
The paper studies the economic performance of sheep enterprises, the data pertain to 11 farms of
the Lublin Province in 2012. There are 3 farms presented: one with the best farm income, one with the worst
and the other with a “standard” medium farm income. The aim of this study was to compare the productivity
(per 1 ha AL), where AL denotes arable land, and (per PLN 1) of direct costs on farms. The area of the farm
did not affect the generated incomes. The standard farm had 19.07 ha AL and the best farm only 15.66 ha AL.
A detailed analysis of the data allowed us to confirm the belief that direct payments did not affect economic
results. The greatest support in the form of direct payments was in the “standard” farm.
