Balanced development of a farm cannot be achieved without an appropriate level of income which provides payroll comparable to other branches of economy and funds for investments. Changes of subsidiaries and taxes balance in UE farms were described based on data from FADN. Trends, changes of processes are usually observed in long term horizons. To analyse them long term data series is required. Data concerning UE-12 from years 1989-2006 enables such analysis. The main goal was to determine if farms in long term were getting more economically independent or were supported more and more by taxpayers. Due to data availability the simplest statistical time series analysis, correlation and regression analysis and chart visualisation were performed.
