Harvesting campaign under personal control of President

19 августа 2017

The harvesting campaign is now the most important issue in the country. It is personally controlled by the President. Yesterday, the Head of State continued working trips to the eastern regions of Belarus and inspected the harvesters at the farms of Shklovsky and Orsha districts. Particular attention was given to the issues of agriculture.

Foreign breeds of winter wheat and rye yielded about 100 quintals per hectare. At the same time, Belarusian specialists have already received seeds that are not inferior to foreign analogues in terms of yield. The experiment has confirmed: high-quality seeds and observance of all technological processes can ensure high yields on practically any soil.

In general, the harvesting campaign should have been completed by the end of the week. No slowdowns are acceptable. If necessary, additional equipment can be sent to the regions lagging behind.

Also, Alexander Lukashenko personally inspected the harvesting process on the flagship combine harvester PALESSE GS16.
