On June 2, the grain harvest campaign was launched in our country. During the sitting of the Cabinet of Ministers on May 26, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov blessed the start of the important agricultural campaign, wishing the farmers new labour achievements in the fields of the country. In accordance with this, the grain growers of the Ahal, Lebap and Mary velayats began to harvest, and on June 9, the farmers of the Balkan and Dashoguz velayats joined them.

According to a good tradition, honorary elders blessed the harvest on the ground, offering up a prayer to the Almighty for the wellbeing and prosperity of the Motherland and the entire Turkmen people. After mowing the first wheat ears with the words “Çäjne bereket!” (“Good harvest to you!”), the elders handed over the symbolic sheaves to the combine operators.
