Research Abstract
The Tornyok management entities had been intended to promote joint cultivation and co-work within the village, but in reality, they developed as groups of large-scale farmers. Tornyok management entities received support funds for introduction of machinery and became agricultural contractors in the farming villages. These groups of large-scale farmers maintain the rural production base by renting contract farm work from elderly farmers and others. In recent years, the number of elderly farmers outsource the farming work. The Tornyok management entities are playing increasingly important roles as a contractors of farming works.
