A collective farm was a communist farm.
In the Soviet Union, collectivization was a policy set in motion by Joseph Stalin between 1928 and 1933, to consolidate land in popular domain and labor in collective farms and state farms. The Soviet leaders were confident that the replacement of individually owned farms for collective farms would immediately increase food reserves for the urban population, the supply of raw materials for industry and agricultural exports in general. Collectivization was, therefore, seen as the solution to the crisis in agricultural distribution that had been implemented since 1927 and was becoming more developed, while the Soviet Union went ahead with its ambitious industrialization program.
