The harvest began in the Lepel district a week ago, and already there is the first crew of combine operators who have threshed a thousand tons of grain. The labour achievement was marked by the team from the agricultural production branch "Zaozerie" of the integrated structure of OJSC "Vitebsk Meat Processing Plant", Leonid Alekseenko and Sergey Kolbasov. A ceremonial congratulation of the frontrunners took place in the field near the village of Starye Volosovichi.

Many distinguished guests gathered for such a significant occasion: the President's Aide - Inspector for the Vitebsk Region Anatoly Linevich, the Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee Nikolay Sherstnev, the Chairman of the District Executive Committee Mikhail Kiselevich, representatives of OJSC "Vitebsk Meat Processing Plant", the trade union of agricultural workers, the district committee of the public association "Belarusian Republican Youth Union" (BRSM), and other guests. Along with sincere words of congratulation, valuable gifts were presented to the diligent grain growers.

With their daily impeccable work, the machine operators prove every time: if you work sincerely, diligently, and selflessly, the income will be substantial. It should be noted that the current harvest, and especially the competition of the frontrunners, is taking place under rather challenging conditions. A rich harvest has been grown in the fields of the region, and now the main task is to gather it on time and with minimal losses. The Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee, Nikolay Sherstnev, paid special attention to this in his speech.
