Abstract

The influence of farming collectives on income per annual work unit (AWU) is investigated by means of regressions for three types of farms with animal husbandry. The effects are relatively small, and turn out differently for the three farm types. Whereas the effect is negative for the dairy farms (-1200 CHF), collective farming in the case of combined dairying/arable-crop farms and combined pig/poultry farms leads to a higher income (+900 and +500 CHF, respectively). The latter two farm types are characterised by at least two important production branches, unlike the dairy farms, which have just one. The result for the dairy farms, however, does not call the farming collective into question as a growth opportunity. The usual scale effects that can be achieved by setting up a farming collective are markedly greater than the calculated influences on the income of the farming collectives. Gestützt auf Buchhaltungsergebnisse wird für drei Betriebstypen der Einfluss von Betriebsge-meinschaften auf das Einkommen pro Jahresarbeitseinheit (JAE) mittels Regressionen unter-sucht. Bei allen ist der Einfluss signifikant negativ und beträgt bei den Verkehrsmilchbetrie-ben CHF 11.000.-, bei den Verkehrsmilch-Ackerbaubetrieben CHF 8000.- und bei den Veredlungsbetrieben CHF 8600.-. Daraus lässt sich die Schlussfolgerung ziehen, dass Betriebsge-meinschaften im Quervergleich weniger wirtschaftlich sind als Einzelbetriebe. Bei allen Be-triebstypen wird deutlich, dass ein hoher Kapitaleinsatz pro Arbeitskraft einen positiven Ein-fluss auf das Einkommen hat.
