In the USSR, private plots owned by collective farm families, averaging 0.25 hectares in area, provided 30% of meat, vegetables and milk, 33% of eggs, and 59% of potatoes in 1979.

    Bet the land was taken better care of when its a family that owns it compared to some minimum wage workers hired by a mega farm.
