Why did the Soviet state farm fail?

Basically, it's a question of system.

The Soviet Union has always given priority to heavy industry, ignoring agriculture and light industry, and the investment in agriculture has been insufficient for a long time, so the development of state-owned farms is naturally restricted.

Coupled with the highly unified planned economic system implemented by the Soviet Union, the production content was completely decided by the higher-level administration, and the farms had no autonomy, and the creativity of agricultural workers was severely suppressed. However, there are many factors that affect agricultural development, and the administrative decisions of higher authorities often conflict with the actual situation, which naturally leads to poor development.

Another problem is human consciousness. At this stage, people's ideological consciousness is not so noble. In fact, state-owned farms and state-owned factories eat the same pot of rice, which will dampen people's enthusiasm.
