An important agricultural campaign has started in the country – the grain harvesting campaign. In accordance with the schedule, approved at the sitting of the Cabinet of Ministers on May 31, grain growers from the Ahal, Lebap and Mary velayats began harvesting on June 7, and farmers from the Balkan and Dashoguz regions joined them on June 14.

According to good tradition, honorary elders blessed the harvest, offering a prayer to the Almighty for the wellbeing and prosperity of the Motherland and the entire Turkmen people. Having mowed the first ears of wheat with the words “Çäjine bereket!” (“Have a good harvest!”), the elders gave way to combine operators.
