The reporting since the holiday "Dozhinki-2001" in Kamentsa

Practically never before the kamenetsky earth received so many eminent guests. From 16 areas on the regional festival "Dozhinki — 2001" heads of farms of area, the famous grain-growers, cattle breeders, guests from the neighboring areas, and also Russia, Poland, Ukraine gathered.

All city was similar to a multi-colored fair. All sixteen areas presented the best goods of the industrial enterprises and agriculture. Amateur actors of area amused guests without interruption for lunch. Everywhere friendly and obliging sellers established little tables. Buy to yourself that the soul will wish, deficiency in the offered goods was not. However, there was one such huge deficiency – money in pockets of buyers. Especially it was noticeable on the acquired goods: bought, generally binge and snack. These are guests and citizens. And heroes of the occasion as I noticed, fed in tents of the areas. However we will return to a holiday.

Equal columns there passed heroes of the occasion on a main square of the city. Participants of a festival were welcomed by heads of Kamenetsky district executive committee Vladimir Matsuka and the chairman of the Brest regional executive committee Vasily Dolgolev. Unfortunately, in Vasily Borisovich's performance data on gross collecting grain in the area were not heard.

He only noted productivity in 24,3 centners from hectare. It is a pity that Brest - a rank did not collect the promised one million tons of grain, and we were deprived of an opportunity to observe how our president on foot walks in Kamenets on "Dozhinki – 2001". About it he promised at teleconference under that condition if grain-growers of the Brest region cope with the plan. And words of our president on republican "Dozhinkakh" in Mazyr where it puzzled farmers of the republic in the future to collect 10 million tons of grain and to obtain 5 thousand liters of milk from a cow! Then someone from speakers on a festive tribune called it in question. However, many attendees accepted improbable prospect of development of domestic agro-industrial complex with a smile. They know by what price they are got to areas and these 820 thousand tons of grain.

Kind two hours told warm words and distributed prizes. It both soft corners, and carpets, and TVs, and cash bonuses, and even video cameras.

Nobody published the general sum of money spent for gifts. But I think – were not enclosed in one ten thousand dollars. And how winners felt? Of course, they were happy. But on a question whether consider fair that the award was handed to them, any respondent did not answer with me that he considers correct. Lottery, pier.

I got acquainted with the list of winners republican "Dozhinok – 2001" in Mazyr. Several thousands of dollars are a lot of cars, motorcycles, cash bonuses for the sum combine operators of specialized farms and even casual people received. Some of them both did not plow, and did not sow or in general in agriculture do not work. To me such distribution of prizes moreover what prizes is from outside unclear! And what that who worked for this bread all year? In the majority workers of agriculture receive scanty money and those at the wrong time now. For date of "Dozhinok" in Kamentsa, from conversation with heads of farms, for example, in Kobrin district for August paid a salary only in two farms, in Baranovichskom – in five of nearly forty. There is no money not only for a salary. Today in the area winter sowing is not finished yet, potatoes are not cleaned, there are farms where did not start cleaning of sugar beet yet. All this was aggravated by incessant rains which pereuvlazhnit the soil. A burning issue for all collective farms and state farms – shortage of fuels and lubricants, a significant amount of faulty equipment or its absence in general. I know economy in Kobrin district where on cleaning of potatoes any kopalka was not involved, it is absent at all. People on the personal plots cleaned potatoes in the antiquated way – manually. In collective farm the potato combine was somehow picked the earth.

To the place there would be a holiday if collective farms were not kneeling. According to some information, from the budget of the republic invested 400 billion rubles in battle for the harvest. It seems there is a lot of? But it not absolutely so. From collective farms through obligatory contracts take away agricultural products for nothing. And then fine gesture give a tip which will help to hold on collective farms trousers with the only button. Unless it is normal?

The festival came to the end. Music and songs in Kamentsa calmed down. In the city there was a due order. The militia which was enough was engaged in it.

If who has a drop too much and reeled, fast moved away him from a field of vision. Though drunk this time was a little – monetary deficiency, I so think. But, without looking at anything, the holiday nevertheless was successful. Visitors and guests gradually parted, the youth danced till midnight.
