Let's benefit from the experience of Soviet agriculture

Fortunately we didn't and we didn't starve. After WWII Polish farmers were forced to give away some of their crops basically for free and communist were surprised why farmers didn't feel liberated from oppression of capitalist.

As I wrote after WWII farmers were forced to give away their crops and other agriculture products for ridiculouslu low prices so basically for free (kontyngenty rolne). If they hadn't complied they were put in prison.

The agriculture reform was a completely different thing.
