Oddziaływanie HM Głogów na efektywność produkcyjną i ekonomiczną gospodarstw rolnych

The analysis was based on data gathered from above 100 farms examined in the period covering the years from 1995 to 1997. Research relates to the farms situated in the region affected by the Copperworks "Głogów". The attempt of the authors was to evaluate the works' influence on the organisation and financial results of surveyed farms in the conditions of decreasing pollution. The investigated farms were divided into groups according to: * arable land area (3-7 ha, 7-10 ha, above 10 ha); * location of farms with regard to the emitter: farms situated in the polluted zone; * distance from O to 5 km (zone 1) and * these in the zone of the direct influence - distance from 5 to 12 km (zone 2). The research has shown that the environmental conditions in the area around the copperworks have heavily improved. It has also been found that differences in the organisation of farms were insignificant. In both zones, there dominated cereals (70%) and root plants (about 25 %) but the number of livestock and intensity of organisation were here low. The crops of cultivated plants and basic categories of production reached higher level in the zone 2, whereas the profit was similar in both zones. The financial standing of the farms located near the copperworks was greatly influenced by the income unrelated to farmer's job - it was generated from an employment in the industry. In zone 1, the source of the income constituted compensation payments. Generally, research leads to the conclusion that the influence of the Copperworks "Głogów" on financial and production results is very limited.
