Rusy: comprehensive work on reclaimed lands has positively affected the harvest in the Brest region

Today, on September 28, during the meeting of the Brest Regional Executive Committee, the issue of the effectiveness of the use of reclaimed lands in the region was considered. Chairman of the Standing Commission of the Council of the Republic on Legislation and State Construction, authorized representative of the Head of State in the Brest region Mikhail Rusy, who took part in the meeting of the regional executive committee, noted that work in this direction in the region is carried out on a comprehensive basis, sb.by correspondent reports.

- Issues of land reclamation are not just some kind of tribute to fashion, but the involvement in agricultural turnover of unused lands, which Belarus has, and bringing every hectare of land into proper condition. I analyzed in detail what was done in the Brest region during the year. Yes, there are claims in one direction or another.

It is necessary to pay tribute to the Brest Regional Executive Committee, because funding is provided both from the country's budget and from the regional budget. This made it possible to introduce the planned areas under reclamation, under reconstruction. Bridge and water-locking facilities have been put in order.

Of the four districts that are included in the program of Pripyat Polesie (Pinsky, Luninetsky, Stolinsky and Gantsevichi), three gave a shaft of more than 100,000 tons of grain. It's expensive. That is, there is a complex work: timely fertilizers, timely sowing and care work, the necessary seeds were selected. It worked. There is grain, feed, respectively, there is milk and meat. There is milk and meat – there is money, exports, wages. I believe that in a number of areas in the Brest region we can learn from other areas. But we will see, we will polish the approaches that should be used by our reclamators. After land reclamation works in all districts of Brest region, crop production increased
