Abstract: Deficiency of milk in the Russian Federation raises the urgency of increasing the volume of milk production in all categories of farms regardless of size and form of ownership. The purpose of this study is to determine the status and prospects for the development of family dairy farms. In the study, in addition to statistical information, we used the data from the survey of heads of peasant farms from 12 regions of Russia conducted by the Russian Association of rural and farm enterprises and agricultural cooperatives (AKKOR) in the competition "Best family dairy farm in 2016"in late 2016 - early 2017. Data on 28 farms of the cows who are engaged in production of milk, having a livestock up to 200 heads have been analysed. Analysis of the development of the family dairy farms under investigation was carried out for three significant factors: technical equipment, the size of the dairy herd and the number of employed workers. The analysis has shown weak dependence of the price of milk, level of its marketability and profitability and also profit on realization of milk from the number of cows and the number of workers on a farm. Socio-economic analysis has shown the viability and development possibility of small and medium-sized dairy farms in various regions of the country. Farm development programs, which were produced taking into account the production, economic and natural-climatic features, including direct state support for technological modernization and subsidizing of milk production, can increase the pace and sustainability of the development of the dairy industry in Russia. Additional benefit of farms, average and small by the size, in many regions is the possibility of the organization of processing of milk. On marketability, the price of milk, profit on his realization of direct dependence on the level of technical equipment it isn't revealed, however the maximum price and profit are observed at full mechanization of all productions.
