During the civil war the state agricultural enterprises were subordinate to the independent provincial directorates of state farms. In 1920 these directorates were transferred to the jurisdiction of local agrarian authorities. During the NEP period large state farms were incorporated into the regional trusts. The transition to collectivization was marked by the intensive state-farm construction. Regional trusts were abolished. State farms were merged into specialized trusts. Management of trusts was transferred to the Narkomat of Agriculture of the Soviet Union established at the end of 1929. The system of state farm management was radically changed in late 1932. Trusts of state farms were transferred from Narkomat of Agriculture to the newly created Narkomat of State Farms. This was by no means the end of reforms. The country’s leadership referred to the poor performance of state farms and hoped to raise it trough optimization of management. The newly created administrative structures didn’t radically change the situation, therefore, the next reorganization followed. The end of 1935 was marked by abolition of the state-farm trusts that were considered as inefficient administrative structures. Each state farm was transferred directly to the Narkomat of State farms of the Soviet Union which also could not provide the day-to-day management of numerous state farms located across the vast territory. Therefore, in 1936 Narkomats of State Farms were established in each republic which was followed by re-establishment of the large specialized trusts.
