The article dwells on the features of interaction between the collective and state farms of Western Siberia and the organizations of the “Soyuzselkhoztekhnika”. Based on the analysis and generalization of archival material and statistical data, the author defines the tendencies of agricultural services formation in the region. The article also analyzes the problems of mechanization of agricultural production, the supply of machinery, equipment and fertilizers, organization of equipment repair. The author concludes that the service companies turned into staging posts of material resources of the administrative district. The companies “Selkhoztekhnika (Agritechnique)” and “Selkhozkhimiya (Agrichemistry)” acting in the realities of the planned economy, dictated their conditions to the collective and state farms. Because of that they received high profit, excluding the results of the agricultural year. Because of repair work poor quality and failure to meet contractual obligations on time, the agricultural service companies did not contribute the expected improvements in the timely preparation of the tractor fleet and land application of chemicals into the regional collective and state farms.
