KIROVSK DISTRICT, 28 August (BelTA) – During a working trip to Kirovsk District, Mogilev Oblast Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko pointed out it is unacceptable to let weeds overgrow uncultivated fields, BelTA has learned.
Right after arrival the head of state asked Aleksandr Bagel, the head of the agricultural enterprise OAO Rassvet named after K.P. Orlovsky, about the state of affairs at the enterprise in detail. The president was informed about various aspects of OAO Rassvet’s work: progress of the harvesting campaign, yields of agricultural crops, and animal husbandry. After hearing out Aleksandr Bagel, Aleksandr Lukashenko stated that OAO Rassvet is doing quite well. “Well done for putting the enterprise to rights,” the head of state praised the head of the agricultural enterprise.
At the same time the same cannot be said about nearby agricultural enterprises. Agricultural enterprises of Minsk Oblast were also mentioned. “There is a catastrophe between the towns of Cherven and Berezino. I always worry about these districts of Minsk Oblast. The fields are not cultivated. This is what makes me sad,” the president remarked.
Aleksandr Lukashenko added that those fields are just like the ones OAO Rassvet has where the situation is so much better. “Our executives travel along the roads just like they did in the past. They drive along a road and see that everything near the road is cultivated and good. Nearly as good as in OAO Rassvet. But farther on (I can see it, everything is visible from a helicopter) everything is overgrown with goldenrods, with this golden weed. Men, it won’t do,” the president said.
Speaking about OAO Rassvet named after K.P. Orlovsky, Aleksandr Lukashenko recalled that in the days of the Soviet Union this agricultural enterprise located in Kirovsk District demonstrated excellent performance not only on the scale of the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic (BSSR) but the entire USSR. The first head of this agricultural enterprise was Kirill Orlovsky, whom Aleksandr Lukashenko described as a man of merit. “Without him such an agricultural enterprise would not exist,” the head of state is convinced.
BelTA reported earlier that during a working trip to Mogilev Oblast on 28 August Aleksandr Lukashenko went to a potato field of the agricultural enterprise OAO Rassvet named after K.P. Orlovsky. Progress of the potato harvesting campaign, the technology for processing and storing potatoes, the development of potato farming as a whole in the country are in the center of the head of state’s attention.
