This was set up as a way of collecting and taking control of all of the land and machinery that had been used by Kulaks in the years prior. In addition, by scaring the peasants into thinking that they would be called out as disloyal to the Soviet cause, Stalin was able to get collective farms to come together at a much more rapid pace than originally planned.
