Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the use of three standard methods for the analysis of regional differences in the level agriculture in 2009, after applying the quotient normalization of variables. The research compared with results obtained by using the measure of development of Pluta type - without model -. Of the four measures constructed the fifth, "resultant" synthetic indicator. Then was made the linear arrangement and division into group of Polish voivodships. The results showed that the level of development of Polish agriculture between voivodships in 2009 was very different. Classification of voivodships does not depend on the method and differentiation to a small extent.
