The relevance of the research topic of improving the strategic planning of rural areas is the rapid dynamics of the development of digital technologies that aggressively change the structure of production, economic and managerial relations. In the aspect of solving state problems in the agrarian sector, strategic planning for the development of rural territories seems to be a mechanism for solving them, providing means and mechanisms for solving simultaneously multidirectional tasks: increasing export volumes and ensuring food independence of the country, etc. The problem that the development strategy is as an instrument of modernization of the local economy does not work at the municipal level. The purpose of the study is to determine the relevant characteristics and models of strategic planning for rural development. The main research method was the method of complex scientific and methodological assessment of socio-economic relations in the development of managerial decisions. The research results are presented by the author’s wording of the content of the categories “strategic planning for rural development”, “transformation of the philosophy of managing in rural areas” and the definition of strategic planning models for rural development, with a brief description of them. Based on the classification of the forms and types of strategic planning for rural development, the following models are identified: idealistic, transformative, corrective, problematic, transformative, competitive, sectoral, local, developing, reproductive, supportive, restraining.
The quality of economic system development is largely determined by the level of their technical and technological potentials and the ability of systems to use them effectively in the process of their reproduction. Technical and technological modernization of economic systems of various levels is a process of fundamental renovation of their material and technical base and the total of technologies applied in the context of the society’s productive force development under the influence of scientific and technological progress, associated with the formation of favourable conditions for their sustainable and effective development. A significant part of agricultural producers are currently experiencing certain difficulties with upgrading their technical and technological base and the introduction of promising technologies, which significantly limits the development potential of this sector and the possibility of improving the efficiency of its operation. Agriculture as a branch of national production has a number of intra-system properties that determine the possibilities for upgrading the technical and technological base and are formed under the influence of macroeconomic, intra-sectoral, intra-territorial and intra-subjective factors, as well as the level of development of supporting systems. The complexity of the technical and technological base of agricultural production and the need for its accelerated modernization require compliance with the principles determining its formation, which can be viewed in the context of three large blocks: theoretical and methodological principles, principles for ensuring the reproduction of agro-economic systems, and principles for ensuring their effective development. For each agro-economic system, it is necessary to develop its own strategy of technical and technological modernization, which will reflect the necessity and prerequisites for its initiation, characterize the set of conditions for its realization, as well as the principles for the formation of the technical and technological base, ensuring the possibility of implementing its functionality and optimizing its composition and structure.
As a result of theoretical study of scientific works, the content of concepts of land relations and institute has been supplemented. Formal institutions have been classified, three groups of rules and regulations have been identified: I - established, II - flexible, III - highly adaptive. The Institute of agricultural land turnover has been studied taking into account the effectiveness of its elements. An analysis of the current state of land relations in agriculture showed that deformation changes have led to the formation of traps in the institutions of purchase and sale, lease, pledge of agricultural land: lack of relevant documents, non-compliance with property and lease rights, existence of abandoned and degraded land, high level of costs, etc. The example of the Saratov region revealed the established trends of increasing the area of unused own land of agricultural organizations in the Northern Left Bank and Prigorodny, rented - in the Northern Right Bank, South-Eastern, unformatted - in the Western Microzone. In general, for non-formed lands, the largest reductions in area occurred in the South-East, Central Left Bank, North Right Bank Microzones. Numerous land violations that impede the full and effective use of agricultural land necessitate the establishment of a new agricultural land management institution.
One of the main reference points of development of modern agriculture of Russia is development of its direction within the green economy limiting distribution of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, genetic engineering. The principles of formation of green economy in Russia assume harmonious functioning of elements of ecological systems, the coordinated their development providing the coordinated interaction of subjects and objects with adjustment and neutralization of anthropogenic influence, anticipatory impact on the environment for the purpose of preservation of the available natural potential. The green economy can be defined as the production set keeping modern ecosystems in ecologically safe state, assuming the rational agricultural land use providing performance of the corresponding agro technical receptions at not violation of soil fertility and ecological stability of the territory. A research objective is theoretical justification and algorithmization of a land security method of increase in efficiency of agricultural land use with definition of influence of structure of grounds on ecological stability of the territory and establishment of a zone of beneficial ecological effect on the example of the Saratov region. According to it the main stages of a land security method the combining organizational, economic, nature protection actions on the basis of a resource preserving and control of use of resources promoting creation of conditions of the land users increasing interest in preservation and reproduction of fertility of soils and protection of lands against negative consequences of production activity are defined. Features are revealed and results of the main stages of a method are described. Need of use of a method with application of continuous adjustment depending on the changing internal and external, economic and natural factors is noted. Probability and validity of the received results is caused by use of general scientific and special methods of knowledge: abstract and logical, monographic and system methods. The scientific novelty of a research is that the developed method promotes a solution of the problem of formation of effective agricultural land use when maintaining soil fertility in the context of formation of green economy. The practical value of the received results is defined by the fact that the land security method offered in article is expedient for practical use.
The relevance of the study is explained by the existence of objective difficulties in the development of agriculture in industrial regions. The authors reviewed the socio-economic indicators of subjects of the Siberian Federal District, analyzed the main indicators characterizing the level of agricultural development, data on the import and export of main types of agricultural products, consumption of basic foodstuffs. The study made it possible to determine the specifics of the agro industrial complex of the mining regions and regions specializing in the development of the processing industries. Industrial regions are characterized by a number of factors that significantly limit the development of agro-industrial industries: low proportion of rural population, insufficient environmental situation, and insufficient basic production funds.
State support for agricultural production includes tax and budget incentives. The aim of the study is to analyze the tax burden of agricultural producers in the context of economic sanctions. The paper uses economic and statistical methods of research. The concept of "tax burden" has been clarified. There is analysis of the existing concepts of the tax burden. The classification of the tax burden is given. The approaches to determining the tax burden are considered. Features of the taxation of the agricultural organizations are defined. There are advantages and disadvantages of the use of a single agricultural tax. The measures to reduce the tax burden of small business are named. It is concluded that in 2017 the amount of calculated UST decreased. The place of UST in revenues to the consolidated budget of the Russian Federation is determined. A significant decrease in the inflow of each in the Perm region was revealed. It is concluded that the tax burden of agricultural producers is increasing.
Currently in the Republic of Bashkortostan a long-term program has been developed to support dairy farming until 2030. The main objective of the planned program is the sustainable development of the industry and increasing its investment attractiveness. In the development strategy of dairy production in the region in the coming years are planned: industrialization and mechanization of the industry; output to design capacity of idle and unfinished dairy farms and new industrial dairy complexes. All this requires significant investment. This article is aimed at improving the management of material and technical support during the reconstruction of a dairy farm and the purchase of pedigree livestock on the example of a specific agricultural enterprise under the conditions of regional agro leasing. To finance this project, various options for acquiring machinery and equipment for agricultural producers were analyzed. As the analysis shows, at present, regional agro leasing provides the most favourable conditions for financing transactions for the purchase of agricultural machinery, equipment lines for dairy farms, breeding animals. Due to the advantages of the leasing form of investment for the end lessee, the availability of the leased asset becomes apparent. The use of leasing mechanisms will significantly increase the investment attractiveness of this project.
One of the key factors in improving the efficiency of the industry is the maximum realization of the market potential of poultry products. Systematization of theoretical developments and practical materials on the topic under study indicates the absence in the industry of logically structured visualized models of the market potential of poultry products, taking into account the interconnections of the relevant entities in production. In the process, an analysis of the development trends of the industry, its assortment portfolio, theoretical aspects of the construction of the indicated models is given. The developed models of the market potential of poultry products (main, accompanying, processing, and secondary) can be partly promising, as their information field allows us to identify the potential for the market potential of the corresponding products and make correct management decisions to build them.

Due to Government program for agriculture development and regulation of agricultural markets for 2008-2020, there have been significant changes in formation of breeding resources for dairy cattle. The best genetic resources of breeds are concentrated at breeding plants and reproducers. These categories of agricultural enterprises supply high-value livestock to breeding enterprises and commodity herds, thereby ensuring improvement of breeds. The maintenance and increasing of breeding stock and consequently raising of breeding products sales contributed to productive potential growth of commodity production. However, along with share growth of highly productive dairy breeds at livestock structure and significant productivity increasing, there are a number of negative consequences that reduce economic efficiency of dairy cattle industry.
