The article is devoted to the discussion of changes that took place on farms specialized in milk production in the period before and after the milk market reform in Europe. 124 farms were selected for the study, all having participated in the analysis of milk production costs in the European Dairy Farmers (EDF) from 2012 to 2016. The work examined selected changes in the organization of production and economic effects on farms. The results indicate a clear increase in production, resulting both from the increase in the size of cow herds, and from the improvement of milk productivity in all groups of farms. The largest differences between groups in the costs incurred in milk production were in alternative costs and depreciation. The unfavourable price situation on the market in 2016 meant that the total costs of milk production were lower than milk prices in only 12 % of the analysed farms.
