ABSTRACT
The objective of our paper was to present factors of the efficiency of farms cultivating rapeseed. The
analysis included production and economic results for rapeseed cultivation. We used tabular, graphic, and
descriptive methods to measure the research results. In addition, the authors used a regression model to
measure the impact of selected factors on production and economic results of farms. The authors used
correlation analysis and the classic method of least squares to measure homoscedasticity. Our research
found that the value of production and income has increased in all farms. We observed from the survey
that the production and income calculated per one ha. farmland increased. The income calculated per one
employed person has increased as the result of hired labor on the farms.
