During his working trip to Mozyr District Dmitry Krutoi talked to exectuives and operators of combine harvesters of the state farm Zarya. As of the morning of 17 July, the farm threshed a total of 6,200 tonnes of grain. Some of the fields were affected by the storm. These fields are now being given priority attention.
“Wind bent the crops but did not lodge them. Therefore, without wasting time, we started harvesting them. It is important to remove crops on such fields in dry weather,” the farm said.
Dmitry Krutoi also raised the issue of equipment as he talked to operators of combine harvesters. They assured that all the issues are solvable and Gomselmash machines harvest record yields. “We'll do our best and harvest these fields,” they assured.
Chairman of Mozyr District Executive Committee Elena Pavlechko noted that farmers are in a fighting mood. “Please pay attention there is no spike left in the fields cropped by our professionals,” she pointed out as the delegation inspected a triticale field which is being harvested.
