The Sun Also Helps
Article Abstract:
Soviet farm production in 1983 was the highest since 1978. Good weather was an important factor. Reforms have been implemented on the farms. Workers compete for the best jobs and wages are tied to productivity. A 'team contract' system has been introduced in which small groups of workers sign a contract with the farm management. Surplus profits are divided among the workers. Some officials oppose this system which will increase wage differentials. Many farm workers prefer wage security.
