Characteristics of the Development of Part-Time Farms in Slavonija and Baranja
Robert Kurbel

Abstract
The great number of part-time
farms in Yugoslavia are the result
of economic differentiation and
polarization in the village, which
has followed the increase in
production as a whole, and
especially the increase of market
production.
Longitudinal research carried out by
the authors several times already
shows that the process of the more
intense development of part-time
farms started in Slavonija and
Baranja later than in the rest of
Croatia. Most of these farms are
very small, although larger farms
have also turned part-time in recent
years. On an average, part-time
farms have more members, and
more active members, than farms
that are purely agricultural and
other farms. The participation of
women in farm work is decreasing,
but not as fast as on the purely
agricultural farms. The average size
of the property owned by the
part-time farms is increasing. The
farms are becoming better equipped
and the households are better
equipped than other households.
