AI overview
A kolkhoz was a form of collective farm in the Soviet Union where agricultural production was organized communally rather than by individual farmers. These collective farms, along with state farms called sovkhozes, formed the backbone of Soviet agriculture and the term persisted in some countries even after the Soviet Union's collapse.
