Answer 1

The government decided what the farmers would produce on soviet collectives.

Answer 2

The correct answer is: the government.

The former soviet communities were embodied within a command economy. A command economy is that in which economic decisions are made by the public powers, hence the state or government. It decides the quantities that are produced of each good or service and the price at which these are sold afterwards.

Therefore, coming back to the farmers' example, the amount they produced was determined by the government authorities.
