Rural landscapes are mainly maintained and changed through farmers' decisions and practices.As a landscape manager the farmer has many different roles of which three roles related to the farm as a whole is investigated in this paper: producer, owner and citizen.Although most farmers take landscape decisions in all these three roles production based decisions are assumed to be more important for full time farmers than for hobby farmers who have their main income outside the farm and who may consider their farm more as a living place than as a production place.Based on a large survey carried out in Hvorslev, Eastern Jutland, Denmark in 2008 farmers' landscape practices are analysed in relation to their background, occupational status and view of their farms as a production place versus a living place.Altogether 377 farmers were interviewed and some comparisons are made to a similar survey in the same area in 1996.It was found that a significant proportion of farmers are hobby farmers who mainly see the farm as a living place and who to a large degree have different landscape practices than full time farmers have.The findings indicate that more research is needed to fully understand the reasons for and implications of the differences in landscape management practices
