The said stage marks an acceleration of the processes involved in technical advancement of agriculture. The organizational form of activities aimed at fostering that advancement in respect of individual peasant farms are the agricultural circles. The latter have at their disposal substantial financial means accumulated by way of the reimbursement of the differences in the prices of agricultural produce quota deliveries and the free-market prices within the so-called Agriculture Development Fund. A telling illustration of the means of this Fund is their share in investments in individual peasant farms which amounts, at present, almost to one fourth of the total. Proceeding with his deliberations, the author examines regional differences in the rate of accumulating means of Agriculture Development Fund. However, uneven their regional distribution — says the author — this fact has not resulted in a decrease of the effectiveness of their utilization. The next problem tackled is that of the degree of utilization of the means derived from the Find. The searching analysis of the matter, considered from the viewpoint of the supply of machines and implements and of the demand for them on the part of the agricultural circles is worth of attention. The concluding part of the article is devoted to a justification of postulates concerning the new trends of investments to be financed from the Agriculture Development Fund.polinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArtykuł
