I agree with the statement “Russia’s agriculture changed little in the years 1894 to 1914”. I believe Russia’s agriculture went through little change, prior to 1905 and the Russian revolution, even though 80-90% of the peasants in Russia where farming the land, and it contributed to a huge majority of the Russian economy. But I believe post revolution, Stolypin and his reforms led to the development of Russia’s agriculture, with 1906 being a very important year in the development of Russia’s agriculture, with power taken from the Mir’s (a self-governing community) in November of 1906, and more land becoming available for farmers to buy in September 1906.

Russia would go into the war with a stronger economy due to the agrarian reforms which boosted the money which Russia could make through farming in the country, as it was able to export more goods, as there was an increase in production of grain and other crops, which increased the amount of goods which Russia had to export. Which In turn would increaser the imports into the country and open new trade
