The studies, carried out on 11 farms of central-eastern Poland, showed that the mass of loads transported outside the farm reached 26.7 tons per hectar of arable land, i.e. 22.8% of the total mass of loads produced or purchased on those farms. The share of tractor transport was 86.1% with the load of 4.2 km/ton (for lorries - 23.5 km/ton). Transport top limits do not exceed 15% of mean monthly transport, approaching 9.6 tons. The contribution of transport to greater distances (over 15 km) increases with the increase in farm size, for example, in farms bigger than 20 ha of arable land it exceeds 75%.
