The purpose of the paper is a case study of a private farm in the town of Gelu, Timiș county. The research was carried out in the period 2020-2021, and the objectives in mind were: identifying the type of soil on the 77 hectares studied, the situation of the crops and the productions obtained. The main crops were sunflower, wheat and corn and the soil was a typical weakly glazed chernozem. The situation differs from year to year. In 2020, 16 hectares were sown with sunflowers, 35 hectares with wheat and 26 hectares with maize and in 2021, 12 hectares with sunflowers, 36 hectares with wheat and 28 hectares with maize. The productions obtained were 2300 kg/ha for sunflower, 5500 kg/ha for wheat and 8000 kg/ha for corn in 2020 and in 2021, these productions were 2600 kg/ha for sunflower, 6000 kg/ha for wheat and 8500 kg/ha for maize. In wheat, the Alex variety and the Apaș variety were cultivated. In all three crops, the highest productions were obtained in 2021, this was due to more favorable climatic conditions in terms of the level of precipitation and its distribution throughout the vegetation period. The agricultural years 2020 and 2021 were the years in which very good results were obtained in terms of average productions for both autumn and spring crops.
