Abstract: The article covers the issue of preferences in the thematic area of consultancy in individual farms, provided by employees of agricultural advisory centers and private companies. Based on the results of a survey conducted in the eastern part of the Mazowieckie voivodeship in Mińsk county, it was found that more than half of the respondents used state and private advisory services, namely 52.5% of the farmers. Over 78% of the respondents were interested in financial support from the Rural Development Program for 2014-2020 (RDP), which improves the profitability of farms. Almost 15% of respondents are also interested in new technologies and technical equipment of farms. The current situation of Polish agriculture still requires support both through state and private counseling.
