Income status of farmers in Slovenia, which is in this article measured by index of farm economic power (IGM), is depending on many factors. Here the influence of farm size and production type is studied. Because of unfavourable size structure farming is securing a parity income for one or more on farm employed persons, only on 2,5 % of Slovene farms. The farm size, which enables a full employment for one man power, is depending on production type and is ranging from 1 ha (strawberry production) to 40 ha (suckling cows breeding). But this size does not automatically secure also a parity income in all production types. IGM = 1 is reached in vegetable production, while in dairy production (IGM = 0,84), and in suckling cows breeding (IGM = -0,7 it is even negative) the parity income is not reached. Agrarian structure in Slovenia is changing intensively. Yearly decline of farm number is between 2 and 2,5 %, but the number of farms, which will be able to sustain the farm family, will also in the future be very low (2 %). Improvement of land and property structure should be accelerated with adequate land policy, which should be supported with considerable financial inputs from public sources.
