Isn’t this how Stalin killed the farmers off in Siberia?

You are probably thinking of the land owning peasants called "Kulaks" in the Ukraine. It's doubtful any of them were busted for running a commercial operation organic farm catering to what are probably a bunch of greener-than-thou Liberals. All their food, including what they needed to feed themselves and their families, was confiscated and any who resisted were summarily killed or sent to Siberia to die. Those who did not resist simply starved to death. The Soviets gave quotas to the forces sent of the tonnage of food to be confiscated and numbers of Kulaks to be liquidated and detailed records were kept. They murdered millions.

No, Stalin took the food (for the public good) and let the farmers starve (in the Ukraine).
