- SummaryThe importance of scientific work organisation, management and work ethic is explained by two agricultural production cooperatives in Düsterloh - the LPG "7.Oktober" and "Einheit". The balance is drawn up on the basis of two agricultural production cooperatives (LPG), both set up in 1954. In order to create a high accumulation rate in the LPG and thus increase the wages of cooperative farmers, it is a prerequisite that good plant and animal production is achieved. The different development and wage structure of the two LPGs is analysed on the basis of the crop and animal yields and the investments made or not made. It is shown how in the first LPG ('7 October') production is increased through effective management and sensible use of the basic funds (high allocation, appropriate use), while in the second LPG ('unit') production stagnates through low allocation and ill-considered use of the basic funds.
