Abstract

early 1960's The article shows the state of the technical support of the agrarian area in the second half of the 1950’s in the early 1960’s. The author concludes that the Soviet industry was working on the saturation of machines by individual production processes, but very little was done to complete the mechanization of the whole technological chain of agricultural production. This often led to painful imbalances, when both high-tech equipment and obsolete, inefficient and unreliable machines worked in one technological stream. It is indicated that in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the stable unsustainable economy of collective farms and state farms was undermined by new destructive reforms in agriculture. First of all, this is the decision on the reorganization of machinetractor stations in repair and technical stations and the sale of equipment to collective farms and state farms. The author underline that the modernization of technology was carried out only at the expense of own efforts of farms and peasants. Techniques in farms were not enough. Plans for delivery of agricultural machinery were carried out halfway. Agriculture was constantly in a state of acute shortage of reliable, technically perfect machines, mechanisms and equipment. The state in the approaches to material and technical provision of the village continued to proceed from the increase in quantitative indicators. But under such conditions the park of agricultural machinery remained not equipped. The Government of the Ukrainian SSR, by directing its activities to implement the program of agricultural mechanization, implemented it through the mechanism of state supervision of the state of the machine-tractor park. It was created due to the fact that the kolkhozes and farmsteads themselves allowed a futile attitude to machines and mechanisms.
