Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to analyze the management of the farm land having the status of agricultural production cooperative, which is located in a particularly favorable for agricultural production under natural conditions commune of Święta Katarzyna in Lower Silesia. Using the methods in terms of vertical comparative, descriptive and first-degree synthetic it was possible to present numerical material from the years 2008-2011. Against the background of the characteristics of production factors, structure, organization, technical and economic efficiency, the principles and actions used by the cooperative for the conservation and rational use of the land factor were described. Despite the annual decrease in the area of agricultural land in the country in the analyzed farm, their area has not decreased in the four-year study period. The most important effect rationalizing the efficiency of land use was the establishment of willow plantations in flood plains − marginal. Revenue from the sale of willow in the third year of cultivation, largely contributed to the increase in productivity and marketability of the land in 2010. The use of erosion control treatments, reduced fertilization and partial replacement of it by the use of catch crops legumes, low intensity of farm organizations adapted to market requirements are an expression of caring for the land factor in the era of micro-scale degradation and loss at the macroeconomic level.
