In 1925, a referendum was put forth by the DKP (communist) ultimately resulting in a June 1926 referendum to expropriate the property of the former ruling houses. The intent was to confiscate the Prince's estates without compensation and it ultimately failed. Within the DDP (German Democratic Party), internal division caused Hjalmar Schacht to break from the party he had helped establish.
He is the POD, some social democrat joins the wagon of populism and coupes these estates, not only to undeserved riches as the communists, but also to waste and thus the famine the German people recently experienced.
The momentum for the referendum gets more approval and Hjalmar Schacht decides to offer a counter proposal. The date for consfiscation is postponed say 6-years and then unused estates with less than 80% Agricultural use may be confiscated.
This proposal gets the majority or is implemented after the communst proposal falls. Whichever.

Schacht as the Reichsbank president is tasked to organize a special investment bank to allow the land-owners to develop new farms on a competitive level. The result is new large and effective mechanised farms that turns profitable amidst an old-fashioned central European Agricultural sector.
If all goes well, the reichsbank gets its Money back, the German Agricultural sector becomes more productive and a large tractor industry develops. Ultimately, the result is foreclosures among small Family farms that become even more unprofitable, mergers and wide-spread mechanization and a few million more first unemployed people who may then later become workers in the German industry.

How does this development sound. 1926 is the right time, the food-price-crisis just passed and the Young plan guarantees loans from abroad to back the reichsbank.
How is it for feasibility?
Long-term effects?

And yes, I know its not good for 1940's oil reserves,but that is not Schacht's concern in 1926.
