Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to divide the European Union countries into groups of most similar distributions of farm size. As a measure of the degree of similarity of distributions D statistic was used, which is the maximum absolute value of the difference between two cumulative distribution functions. On the basis of the value of the D statistic calculated for each of the pairs of distributions the countries were divided into five relatively uniform classes. This division resulted in the creation of one single-element group, one two-elements group, one four-elements group and two ten-elements groups.
