Peasants would farm the land, using machinery from the state [ Tractors loaned from Motor Tractor Stations (MTS) ]
Animals and tools were to be pooled together
They would receive a wage for doing this
90% of the produce would be sold to the state cheaply
The 10% surplus was to feed the Kolkhoz - it could not be sold privately for profit
Peasants could keep a small plot of land around their house for their own use
At first, collectivization was not enforced, but promoted through propaganda. (Look at the poster above)
However, many peasants resisted.(They disliked the idea that the farms were under the control of local Communist leader)
Kulaks resisted the policy; when the Red guards came to seize their grains and sent them to labour camps; many burned their crops and killed their animals.
