On the eve of the professional holiday, farmers from different regions of Belarus told why they love their work

Success in any industry depends on people’s dedication to their professional choices. On the eve of the Day of Workers of Agriculture and Processing Industry of the Agro-Industrial Complex, villagers, answering the question “SG”, talk about what brings them joy in life and with what mood they celebrate their holiday.

- I've been on the farm for four years. During that time, I realized that I was in my place. Work on the ground does not give boredom, because it implies serious responsibility during all field work. A decent result, which allows the economy to develop, we get at the expense of the coordinated work of the entire team. When harvested, there is an opportunity to take a breath before laying a new one. I went on vacation in November just before the holiday. I am sure that we will spend it warmly and brightly, because there is really something to celebrate. There are no accidental people in agriculture, and if they come, they do not stay long. Why do I love my job? I see joy in my profession. I wish my colleagues health and strength for new weighty harvests, high yields and gain. And let our village flourish.

- I love animals, so without a farm and a village I can not imagine my life. I live near the agro-town of Snov, where I moved from Minsk ten years ago. I met my husband here and stayed. In a farm that the whole country knows for sure, good workers are appreciated. We, for example, the agricultural plant allocated a three-room apartment. The team is wonderful. Traditionally, older people pass on experience to younger people. People work in one place all their lives. For example, I still work with my older partner: she taught me once. By the way, my partner is 16 years retired, but continues to work. The work is responsible, but new technologies have simplified it. It's different volumes and quality. We're waiting. We have meetings and concerts and awards. I wish all agricultural workers health, success in work and patience. We will love our work – we will get good returns, which means that every Belarusian’s house will be hearty, warm and cozy.

- This year marks 20 years as I work in the agricultural plant. I am not only happy with the place of work, but also with what I do. I never wanted to try anything else. It is important for everyone to get satisfaction from work, to see their results and objective assessment. The state values the work of the grain grower, conditions are created for us, people talk about us. But this work is not easy: constantly on your feet, sometimes time for family and yourself is not enough, there are almost no days off. We perceive this rhythm as a way of life, we consciously chose this path. A lot depends on the collective as well. When there are good people around, when everyone is working for a common result, any difficulties are easier to overcome. Now we are harvesting corn for grain. We work at a good pace, the harvest is good. We've already ground 7,300 tons. As for the holiday, I don’t know where I’ll be spending. The land and those who work on it have no days off. I’ll probably have a holiday at the workplace. We need to finish harvesting corn, deadlines are tight. This is our profession: as long as there is work in the field, rest will wait. He will, too, but in his own time. I wish my colleagues never to cool down to their work, always strive for the best result and always return after work to their families healthy and happy.
