The article discusses the notions of "steering" and "planning" and their interrelations in managing the agriculture in a commune. The object of managing is the agricultural production, the subjects of steering are all agricultural producers irrespective of the sectors they belong to, and the subjects of communal planning are farms designated in a plan (at present only private farms). Besides the introduction and conclusions, the article contains two main parts. The first is concerned with theoretical grounds of steering the agriculture and with the symptoms of the communal organs' activity in steering the agricultural production. The second part contains the remarks on the scope and forms of a socio-economic plan of a commune with respect to agriculture. The author points out to the indicative character of communal plans drafted at present. The author concludes that at present the degree of independence of local organs of state authority and administration in managing the development of agriculture in their territory is insignificant. The above referrs both to steering and planning since local organs are not authorized to determine the steering norms, nor have they adequate means to carry out independently the plans. Local organs are in the first place the executors of the state policy and their activity as the representatives of the interests of a local community is limited.polinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArtykuł
