The main aim of this research work is to study horticultural farms in Hajdú-Bihar County, that mobilize labour and capital for thesake of agricultural production, namely family farms. During this study work we tried to chart the main characters, the conditions offunctioning, their profitability and its use possibilities, their external contacts and the resource of information of these farms, beside this toinvestigate the relationships between these parameters. Parallel to this we tried to compensate the relatively high deficiency of information byempirical research work. This deficiency is the characterization of farmers and the inducement of farming and its conditions both on the levelof county and state. By our empirical research work we have made a comprehensive position paper that shows the conditions of farms andfarmer populations, as well. Two hundred questionnaires were evaluated.

How do farmers see their own future, what kind of aims do they have?Who will stop and who will go on producing? Thecollected information on the whole may help to make much more flexible legislatives and administrative regulations, although the surveycovered only one county
