Collective Farming

Collective farms were farms that were controlled by the government. In 1928 Russia hundreds of people worked on the farms making food for the government. The people who worked on the farms resisted Stalin with a passion and killed their livestock and destroyed crops to hurt the government. Stalin in turn forced people onto smaller farms and shipped people off to Siberia. Generally these types of farms failed because of constant changes in demands on the global market and a famine hit Russia in the 30's.
