The study is based on the data collected in a poll conducted on 140 randomly selected private farms in western Serbia (Yugoslavia). Linear discriminat functions are evaluated for nine indicators of technical equipment and for different sizes of farms, with an aim of classifying these farms according to the farmers' working patterns. In the case of significant distribution, the indicators of descriptive statistics are complemented with a classification of farms and analysis of the contribution of individual criteria to the distribition of groups. By evaluating the indispensability of the criteria, the initial set of criteria was reduced to a subset with significant discriminatory effect. No significant distribution was found by using the selected criteria among the private farms whose area exceeded three hectares.
