Collective farm is a farm operated by a group cooperatively. The farm may be owned jointly by the group, by individuals in the group, or by the government. On most collective farms, workers receive a share of the farm's profits, some of its products, and a small wage. In many countries, the workers also help manage the farm. Collective farms differ from state farms, which the government owns and runs. On state farms, the government pays the workers a wage and, in some cases, gives them a small portion of the farm's products.
