The present research focuses on applications for assigning the farm model and determination for the direction of the share of Zemgale subregions. Rural area farm models were created based on the criteria of experts and focus group study results. The developed three models showed that the sub-section of small, medium-size, and large farms have a different share of income by type of activity. Agriculture is the main source of income in the farm models of Zemgale subregions; however, the income level differs by the groups of farms – the larger the farm, the larger the share of income comes from agriculture. Farms of Zemgale-1 and Zemgale-2 subregions are frequently engaged in the same sectors; though the implementation types differ, for example, tourism in Zemgale-1 subregion is based on culture - historic tourism, while recreational and sport tourism dominates in Zemgale-2 subregion.
