What are the differences between
Soviet Union agriculture and the agricultural practices of the United States?
It all starts with the role of the government in our society. The Soviet Union
has a communistic government which is based on the idea “that everyone shares
everything” and that is why their agriculture is the way it is. It started with
many small farms that the government owned but farmers farmed, the thing is
they weren’t making the maximum production they could. Later the government
decided to merge all the individual farms into large state collective farms,
that government continued to own.
In the United States we do things
differently. The government doesn’t own our farms but they have a few different
regulations and rules that we have to follow but for the most part we can
ultimately do whatever we want to our fields. We can grow any crops we want on
them and we can sell them and receive the profit for them because we own them
not the government.
The thing that is the most
different between our ways of living and our ways of farming is government
conflict. The government is concerned with how we live and with what we do on
our farms, because that helps our economy and keeps our country running. Where in
the USSR the government owns everything and they receive all of the profits
from farming. So the work ethic from farmer in the US is better than those in
the USSR due to the fact that the US farmer gets to keep his earnings after he
sells his crops.
