This paper analyses the main directions and problems of the development of private agricultural farms in SR Slovenia (SFRY) in the period 1969-1981 based on the data from the census of population, households and dwellings from 1981. The number of private farms increased by 7% in the analysed period. Their total utilized area decreased by 8%. The average size of a household decreased from 6.4 ha to 5.5 ha. The number of small farms and their total utilized area increased extremely, with unchanged average size of a household. A strong pressure of non-farmers on the land in noticed. A farm is continually becoming a residential place and not a place of productive activities. 62% of households with farms is without farmers. Large agricultural potentials are utilized in an unprofessional way, which is one of the reasons for insufficiently rapid pooling of labour, assets and land. In individual agriculture, the share of material costs in the value of agricultural production has increased in the past 10 years from 47% to 58%, while the share of value added has decreased from 51% to 33%, in accumulation from 14% to 10%. Individual agriculture has, by its value structure, become very close to the social one which is quite stable and where the share of material costs is 64%, that of value added 31% and of accumulation 19%. Therefore, it is not only the influence of prices that is important, but the way of production as well.
