In this paper technological cards of cultivation of the specified crops are developed and their economic profitableness is proved due to lower expenses for fuel and biological preparations and higher prices for organic products. It is proved that economic efficiency of cultivation: soybeans by the organic standards makes in the first year 233%, and in the third 565%; winter wheat in the second year 260%, and in the fourth 513%. The cash flows calculated for four years testify about economic profitableness of the organic agriculture and its prospects in the modern conditions. On the basis of the conducted researches the risks of cultivation of soybeans and winter wheat forage by the organic standards are defined which can be minimized in 3 years by observance of the main principles of organic agriculture, being guided by the practice of I.Ovsinsky and M.Kurdyumov.
