Agriculture in the Soviet Union

Agriculture in the Soviet Union was the way the people of the Soviet Union grew food to eat. They used large farmlands to do this. The Soviet Union was a large country, so they could use lots of land to grow crops like wheat, corn, potatoes, and other vegetables. People would also raise animals like cows, pigs, and chickens on these farmlands to produce meats and eggs. The government also had special farms called collective farms, where many people would work together to grow the crops. There were also state farms, which were owned and run by the government. People in the Soviet Union relied on the food grown on these farms to feed the whole country.
